PH69067: IZPDB0012E error occurs during registration of a subsystem with less than three characters in the default attach name

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to register a subsystem with less than three
  characters in a default attach name, the registration will fail
  with the following error:
  
  "IZPDB0012E - 'EX' is not valid for key 'SSID' in JSON body.
  Usage: '3-4 alphanumeric characters, starting with a letter"
  
  The string 'EX' in the error message will be replaced by the
  default attach name of that subsystem.
  
  The solution to this problem was to change the regular
  expression of allowed strings for the default attach name from
  allowing 3-4 characters, to instead allow 1-4 characters. This
  new regular expression matches real character restrictions of
  this value on Db2.
