|
|
Hi Friends,
I need your help in identifying the error. We have a job that creates GDG file. When there is no records to write, the file is created with record length and block size is zero. It should be created with record length of 114 and block size of 27930 irrespective of the file contents. It has been running like that since many years. It changed recently in this way. Any clue to identify this error is a great help. Below are the code
Code: |
//SYSDISC DD DSN=IPD.IEBGENER.IPSRPTPR.RPTSLDT(+1),
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(GDG,RECFM=FB),
// SPACE=(CYL,(10,10),RLSE)
|
Code: |
Data Set Name . . . . : IPD.IEBGENER.IPSRPTPR.RPTSLDT.G2219V00
General Data Current Allocation
Management class . . : MCIPSP Allocated cylinders : 10
Storage class . . . : IPSGDG Allocated extents . : 1

schintala,
Are you running a DB2 utility?

Kolusu,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I was running the load util using platinum fast load and any error reocrds go to this file. We have another job that reads this error file and it goes abend with s0c4 in batch cycle. |

schintala,
Was there a DD dummy statement for the SYSREC?

Kolusu,
No. SYSREC DD is not dummy. It has defined as below
Code: |
//SYSREC DD DSN=IPD.SYSREC.IPSRPTPR.RPTSLDT,
// DISP=(MOD,CATLG,CATLG),
// UNIT=(CKPTDA,3),
// DCB=(GDG,RECFM=VB),
// SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE)

schintala,
Oh well I am guessing that the utility might have changed NOT to open the SYSDISC dataset unless there are discarded records and hence the dataset was created with 0 LRECL and 0 blocksize.
You might wanna check if the documentation mentions this change

Kolusu,
Thank you for your time. I'll check with system personal and see if there is any software upgrades at their end.
Have a nice week end. |
