PI87587: LOADER ENDS WITH RC=8 WHEN ACCEL_WHEN_OFFLINE=LOAD_DB2 AND ACCELERATOR IS OFFLINE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Loader Users Guide description of the ACCEL_WHEN_OFFLINE
  parameter states that when set to LOAD_DB2 the Loader will load
  only DB2 when the accelerator is offline and then complete with
  RC=4.
  .
  This is not how the loader currently behaves.  DB2 is loaded
  without sending any data to the IDAA but the step ends with
  RC=8.  This fix will change the product's behavior to match the
  documentation.
