• The  windows trap/stack formatting tool db2xprt is failing to
  format trap/stack files generated using  db2pd -stack  or, the
  generated  as
  part of  db2fodc  data  collection.
  
  The db2xprt tool generates an incomplete output  or,  fails with
  "nvalid input file detected...".
  
  This is due to an  issue with build  PTF token change.
  Fix is to modify the PTF token correctly to generate correct
  .bin files.
  Also,  db2xprt tool to be modified to be compatible with the PTF
  token change.
  
  These modifications cannot be performed in the existing .bin
  files.
  To obtain these fixes a special build will be needed.
