Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Administration Tool that use    *
  *                 the CHECK DATA function.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When ADBTEP2  calls the  DB2 utility to *
  *                      perform a "CHECK DATA", the size of the *
  *                      SYSUT1 data set is sometimes too small. *
  *                      This sometimes results in ABEND SE37.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When CHECK DATA is performed using TEMPLATEs, and the TEMPLATE
  name starts with the "SYS" ADBTEP2 simulates it with a dynamic
  allocation. The size is sometimes too small.
  

Problem conclusion

• Admin Tool has been changed to use a TEMPLATE name that does not
  start with "SYS".
  This allows ADBTEP2 to bypass the dynamic allocation of the data
  set. DB2 will process the TEMPLATE as coded.
  

Temporary fix
