Error description
REORG abended in DSNIFOD 500F when performing page formatting for part of TS. DSNIFOD attempted to reserve pages for the dictionary. But extend failed during UNLOAD phase, due to 00D70027. As a result, DSNIFOD abended Additional symptoms: DSNIFOD ERQUAL500F RC00D70014 RC00D70027

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Db2 12 and 13 for z/OS users running * * REORG utility. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND04E RC00C90101 DSNIFOD:500F * * during REORG utility processing * * dictionary pages. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available * **************************************************************** A REORG operation on a table space partition failed with an abend in DSNIFOD at ERQUAL500F during page formatting. The root cause was a failure to extend the underlying dataset (reason code 00D70027) during the UNLOAD phase, preventing DSNIFOD from reserving dictionary pages and subsequently causing the abend. The same abend would occur if the same process encountered reason code 00D70014.
Problem conclusion
When Db2 encounters a 00D70027 error because the dataset's secondary allocation is defined as zero and the dataset extension fails (a Resource Not Available situation), the current behavior of abending in DSNIFOD is too disruptive. By returning an RNA reason code to the REORG utility, Db2 would allow users to take appropriate action to fix the allocation limit. 00D70014 is another type of Resource Not Available situation, instead of abending in DSNIFOD, Db2 would return an RNA reason code to the REORGE utility.
