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.
