Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of DB2 Administration Tool who use     *
  *                 the batch restart program (ADBTEP2).         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The batch restart  program relies upon  *
  *                      the input parameter WORKLIST() and the  *
  *                      checkpoint  record held  in the  table  *
  *                      ADBCHKPT  to  position  the  restarted  *
  *                      input stream to the proper point. When  *
  *                      the WORKLIST()  parameter is  omitted,  *
  *                      the  checkpoint record may be lost  or  *
  *                      an improper one picked up in its place. *
  *                                                              *
  *                      To  avoid  this  possibility,  the      *
  *                      WORKLIST() parameter is a required      *
  *                      parameter. Omitting this parameter      *
  *                      will  cause the processing  to end      *
  *                      and message ADB5225E to be issued.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When the WORKLIST() parameter is omitted, an improper restart
  point may be used.
