PH11059: DB2PE REPORTS A VERY LARGE VALUE FOR IDAA MEMORY AVAILABLE FOR USER DATA.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DB2PE statistics report and trace as well as record trace for
  IFCID 002 may report a very large value for the field MEMORY
  AVAILABLE - USER DATA (MB) in their respective accelerator
  sections. This is caused by a value of -1 in the source Q8STTMUD
  field in the IFCID 002 record, meaning that the data was not
  collecected when the IFCID 002 record was generated. Because
  Q8STTMUD is defined as unsigned in the DSNDQ8ST macro, the -1
  value is not recognized and is processed as (2**64)-1, which
  causes the reported value to be incorrect. The inaccurate value
  
  
  may also be propagated to the DB2PM_STAT_ACCEL table in the
  performance data base (PDB) in column TOTAL_MEM_USERDATA.
  

Local fix

• apply PTF when available

  ****************************************************************
  DB2PE STATISTICS REPORT and TRACE as well as
  RECORD TRACE for IFCID 002 may report a very large value
  for the field "MEMORY AVAILABLE - USER DATA (MB)"
  in their respective accelerator sections.
  This is caused by a value of -1 in the source Q8STTMUD
  field in the IFCID 002 record, meaning that the data
  was not collected when the IFCID 002 record was generated.
  Because Q8STTMUD is defined as unsigned in the DSNDQ8ST
  macro, the -1 value is not recognized and is processed as
  (2**64)-1, which causes the reported value to be incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Batch Reporter code was changed to recognize the Q8STTMUD
  variable as signed and display correct values for the field
  "MEMORY AVAILABLE - USER DATA (MB)" in the STATISTICS REPORT and
  TRACE as well as in RECORD TRACE for IFCID 002.
