PH31507: DB2 ADMIN COMPARE GENERATES WRONG UTILITY LOAD CARDS AT EXECUTION TIME.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DB2 ADMIN COMPARE generates wrong utility load cards at
  execution time.
  
  For example:
  
  A COLUMN in a table was changed from
  
  CHANGED_DATE TIMESTAMP (6) WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL
  GENERATED ALWAYS FOR EACH ROW ON UPDATE AS ROW CHANGE TIMESTAMP
  
  to
  
  CHANGED_DATE TIMESTAMP (6) WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL
  GENERATED BY DEFAULT FOR EACH ROW ON UPDATE AS ROW CHANGE
  TIMESTAMP,
  
  If UNLOAD options are NOPAD or/and SPANNED the load utilty cards
  look like:
  
  LOAD DATA INDDN HUJSMZZ8 LOG NO RESUME YES
  EBCDIC CCSID(00277,00000,00000)
  INTO TABLE "PMRCHAR1"."PP_CONF_SERVER"
  WHEN(00001:00002) = X'0003'
  NUMRECS 0
  IGNOREFIELDS YES
  (
  SERVER_ID POSITION( 3: 6)
  INTEGER ,
  .
  .
  CREATED_DATE POSITION(* )
  TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(026) ,
  CHANGED_BY POSITION(* )
  VARCHAR ,
  CHANGED_DATE POSITION(* )
  TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(001)
  )
  
  Which gives the following error at execution time:
  
  DSNUGPRS - VARCHAR ,
  DSNUGPRS - CREATED_DATE POSITION(* )
  DSNUGPRS - TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(026) ,
  DSNUGPRS - CHANGED_BY POSITION(* )
  DSNUGPRS - VARCHAR ,
  DSNUGPRS - CHANGED_DATE POSITION(* )
  DSNUGPRS - TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(001)
  DSNUGPRS - INVALID OPERAND '1' FOR KEYWORD 'TIMESTAMP'
  DSNUGPRS - )
  DSNUGPRS - SORTNUM
  DSNUGPRS - 8
  DSNUGPRS - SORTDEVT
  DSNUGPRS - SYSDA
  DSNUGPRS - REPLACE
  DSNUGPRS - ENFORCE
  DSNUGPRS - NO
  DSNUGPRS - DISCARDS
  DSNUGPRS - 1
  DSNUGPRS - ERRDDN(ERR)
  DSNUGPRS - MAPDDN(MAP)
  DSNUGPRS - WORKDDN(UT1,SOUT)
  DSNUGPRS - DISCARDDN DISC
  DSNUGBAC - UTILITY EXECUTION TERMINATED, HIGHEST RETURN CODE=8

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Db2 Object Comparison Tool for  *
  *                 z/OS that change timestamp attributes        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When running a change, the user gets an *
  *                      error during the LOAD operation due to  *
  *                      the invalid timestamp attribute         *
  *                      EXTERNAL(001). The user was changing    *
  *                      the timestamp attributes in the         *
  *                      change.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  Db2 Object Comparison Tool generates an incorrect LOAD utility
  statement at execution time.
  
  A column in a table was changed from
  
  CHANGED_DATE TIMESTAMP (6) WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL
  GENERATED ALWAYS FOR EACH ROW ON UPDATE AS ROW CHANGE
  TIMESTAMP
  
  to
  
  CHANGED_DATE TIMESTAMP (6) WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL
  GENERATED BY DEFAULT FOR EACH ROW ON UPDATE AS ROW CHANGE
  TIMESTAMP
  
  If the UNLOAD options include NOPAD, SPANNED or both, the
  following LOAD utility statement is generated:
  
  LOAD DATA INDDN TESTDD LOG NO RESUME YES
  EBCDIC CCSID(00277,00000,00000)
  INTO TABLE "CREATOR"."TABLE_NAME"
  WHEN(00001:00002) = X'0003'
  NUMRECS 0 IGNOREFIELDS YES
  ( SERVER_ID POSITION( 3: 6)
  INTEGER , . .  CREATED_DATE POSITION(* )
  TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(026) ,
  CHANGED_BY POSITION(* )
  VARCHAR , CHANGED_DATE POSITION(* )
  TIMESTAMP EXTERNAL(001) ) where
  EXTERNAL(001) is invalid.
