DSNU260I csect-name obj-type obj-qual.obj-name IS EMPTY

Explanation

This message is issued as a warning when REBUILD INDEX(ALL) or REORG TABLESPACE are executed on an empty table space.

This message is also issued when COPY detects that the first space map page in the table space or partition is missing. This is an error condition that might be caused by a delete and redefine of the data set outside of Db2, or by a previous Db2 failure that occurred on the data set.

System action

For REBUILD INDEX or REORG TABLESPACE, the return code of 4 will allow the next utility function in the job step, if any, to be initiated.

For COPY, the table space, index space, or partition being copied will be placed in recover pending status. The return code of 8 will prohibit further utility processing in the job step.

System programmer response

If the return code is 8, the table space, indexspace, or partition being copied should be recovered with the RECOVER utility.

User response

Notify the system programmer if the return code is 8. If the return code is 4, no action is required.

Severity

4 (warning) or 8 (error)
