Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Admin & Object Comparison Tool  *
  *                 who use DFSMS  compression on version files  *
  *                 and are getting a 213-C8 abend.              *
  *                                                              *
  *                 Users of DB2 Admin & Object Comparison Tool  *
  *                 who uses V71 version files in V72 compare.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: GEN   and  the  DDL reader  opens  the  *
  *                      version  file for update  which  isn't  *
  *                      allowed on DFSMS compressed data sets.  *
  *                      Admin/OC  jobs will receive an S213-C8  *
  *                      abend  if the  version file  data sets  *
  *                      are defined with DFSMS compression.     *
  *                                                              *
  *                      When V71 version files used in V72      *
  *                      compare, results in DFSORT failure      *
  *                      due to incorrect version count and      *
  *                      results in following error:             *
  *                       ADBC010E - Sort of BASEIN records      *
  *                                  failed.                     *
  *                       GOCC002E - Severe error.  Compare      *
  *                                  terminates.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  Version  files are  compressed internally  and should  not be
  created with DFSMS compression because GEN and the DDL reader
  opens them for update which isn't allowed on DFSMS compressed
  data sets.  Admin/OC jobs  will receive S213-C8 abends if the
  version file data sets are defined with DFSMS compression.
  
  V71 version files used in V72 compare results in DFSORT failure,
  due to  differences in mapping of record  count field in V71 and
  V72 version header record.
  

Problem conclusion

• The  following limitation has been added for version files in
  Admin/OC:  Version files are compressed internally and should
  not be  created with  DFSMS compression  because GEN  and the
  DDL reader opens them for update which isn't allowed on DFSMS
  compressed  data sets.   Admin/OC jobs will  receive  S213-C8
  abends if  the version  file data sets are defined with DFSMS
  compression.
  The problem has been fixed in V7.2.
