Restart numbering for identity column

hi I have identity column with data type integer starting from 1 and incrementing every insertion.

for sometime i wanna run a stored procedure which restart the identity numbering to 1, how can i do that?
I try this statement, but couldn't run it:
alter table <table-name> alter column <identity-column-name> restart with 1;

Thanks in advance

I suggest you read the SQL Reference manual for your version of DB2. Some versions don't allow alteration of an identity column; some do but with different syntax from that which you are using.
