  1- Issuing line commands ALT, GEN, or DDL from a DB2
  Admin Tool list of objects panel may result in an ABENDOC4,
  with the following panel displayed:
  
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
  * ISPF processor ended abnormally                           *
  *                                                           *
  * System abend code 0C4                                     *
  * Reason code 10                                            *
  *                                                           *
  * Note: The ABEND and REASON codes displayed above are      *
  * HEXADECIMAL values for "SYSTEM" abends and DECIMAL        *
  * values for "USER" abends                                  *
  *                                                           *
  * Enter HELP command for list of common ABEND codes         *
  * Press ENTER key for additional DIAGNOSTIC information     *
  * Enter END command to display primary option menu          *
  *                                                           *
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
  
  Additional Diagnostic Information may also be displayed.
  
  The dump reveals that the abend occurs in module
  ADBPMSG, ADBALT, ADBTEP2, or ADB2GEN.
  The abend occurs because storage used by multiple
  programs is not managed correctly. The storage is freed
  in one program when another program still needs it.
  
  Additionally, the MVS link edit statements were changed
  to create smaller load modules.
  
  2 - When running on DB2 12, panel ADB2 will now show the
  current function level. Infrastructure is also being added
  to let the user know if the current function level is
  supported or tolerated by the product.  If that isn't the
  the case a prompt panel will be displayed where
  the user can decide to accept running on a function
  level that isn't supported or tolerated by the
  product.  The supported function level is initially
  set to 501 and the tolerated function level to 502.
  The prompt panel allows the user to skip the display
  and panel ADB2P2 contains the function level that has
  been accepted by the user.
  
  3. Module ADB0 receives SQLCODE -305 / SQLCODEN305 due to
  missing indicator variables.  The module sets RC=8 but does
  not produce additional error messages.
  
  4. Module GOC2CMP was missing a Language Environment
  options setting to better control stack and storage usage.
  Check job output for the SMF summary of the step for the
  Compare step:
  
   IEF032I STEP/T02COMP /STOP 2018072.1604

   VIRT: 9432K SYS: 484K EXT: 62508K SYS: 11656K
  
  The VIRT value in normal situations is below 600K. If the
  VIRT value is greater than 8000K, it is likely caused by this
  problem.
