Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All Db2 11 for z/OS and Db2 12 for z/OS      *
  *                 users of the UNLOAD utility specifying       *
  *                 FROMVOLUME.                                  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABENDS0C4 DSNUULDB OFFSET1596 during an *
  *                      UNLOAD utility specifying FROMVOLUME    *
  *                      without specifying FROMCOPY             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available.         *
  ****************************************************************
  UNLOAD TABLESPACE db.ts FROMVOLUME was run without specifying
  the FROMCOPY keyword. The utility abended with an ABEND0C4
  +x'1596'.
  
  The utility statement was coded as follows:
  UNLOAD TABLESPACE db.ts
  FROMVOLUME volname
  PUNCHDDN SYSPUNCH
   UNLDDN SYSREC EBCDIC
  
  The Db2 Utilities parser does not check for the missing FROMCOPY
  keyword that is required whenever the FROMVOLUME keyword is
  specified, and interprets the FROMVOLUME keyword incorrectly.
  This results in the utility abending. Instead, the parser should
  return an error message DSNU071I - KEYWORD 'FROMVOLUME' REQUIRES
  KEYWORD 'FROMCOPY' and end with RC8.
  

Problem conclusion

• UNLOAD code has been modified to issue MSGDSNU071I if the
  FROMVOLUME keyword is specified without the FROMCOPY keyword.
