Hi friends,

I am executing a DLI batch Program. It's IMS calls DB2 program.

The program access low level child segments, do some processing, taking check points, after taking check point number 2, it's doing repostioning, while doing repostioning on the SegmentC, it's abending with status code 'GE'.

Level1: SegmentA.
Level2: SegmentB, parent=SegmentA
Level3: SegmentC, parent=SegmentB
SegmentD, parent=SegmentB

Could any one help me to resolve this problem.

ahreddy,

Status code GE indicates Segment not found.You could get GE while making any of the database calls:

Sekhar123,

Thanks for your willingness to help.

I know about GE status code, The program is working fine in production, I recompiled it in test environment, and running it in test environment to see how it works before changes.

I need suggestions, where and why the program is abending in test, because I did not make any coding changes. Could it be because of PCB ?.

Thanks

AH.

ahreddy,

Basically it could be the problem of Segments not found in the Test Database ,probably your test database is not having the database with full segments structure / data not available as in Prod for which the calls are failing. Check out the database structure in the DBD as well as PCB code in the PSB Sources .Hope this helps.

AHReddy,
In your pgm, Are you establishing the repositioning after checkpoint at the segment that you read earlier or the segment after the one you committed?

I mean,If you read 10 Records in Segment C and took checkpoint. Now you need to reposition it, Are you doing at the 10th record that you read already (Say Approach#1) OR are you are trying to reposition at 11th With GT operator kind (Say Approach#2).

If you are going to use Approach#1, it might be problem in programming logic because you are establishing the key on the record which you read and you are failing. (This might not be the case because you took first checkpoint successfully).

If you are using Approach#2, Pgm might have taken a checkpoint at 10th Record and if 10th record is the last record that Segment C physically have, while repositioning you might be coming to reposition at 11th Record which might not be present under respective Setment B. So you might be getting 'GE' error.

My suggestion Display the SSA contents and check for the SSA values at the time of taking Check point and SSA contents while repositioning.


Thanks
Siva.

aHREDDY,

Check ure SSA where its repositioning, also check ure picking up the correct segment.
