  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • A Db2 HPU 6.1 job may terminate with an ABEND S0C4 when the
    following condition is fulfilled:
    - Db2 HPU runs out of memory at the beginning of an unload
      during thread creation
    
    This leads to an abnormal termination instead of displaying the
    following message:
    INZI458E THE UTILITY COULD NOT START A NEW THREAD OR PROCESS
    (CODE 0x84X) (EDC5132I Not enough memory.)
    

Local fix

  • None, but solving the memory outage (refer to the INZU312I
    messages and IEF032I  that help determine what memory is
    missing) avoids to trigger this issue.
