PK95000: ADBBIND MEMBER IN SAMPLE LIBRARY NEEDS TO BETTER EXPLAIN WHEN TH E SQLCODEN206 MESSAGES ARE ACCEPTABLE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS ADBBIND sample BIND member
  does not explain under what situations a SQLCODE -206 is
  acceptable.
  In the reporting customers case the SQLCODE -206 was issued
  for the "SCHEMA" column added by APAR PK72442 and the ++HOLDDATA
  for PTF UK47570. In this case the SQLCODE -206 was unacceptable
  and the installer needed to take action to correct. In other
  situations the SQLCODE -206 reflects that the code references
  SQL which will never be executed on the release the plan is
  being bound on.
  .
  Additional symptoms: sqlcode206
