PM32109: T03COMP STEP GENERATING BLANK LINES UNDER FIELDS IGNORED WHEN COMPARING SOURCE AND TARGET OBJECTS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Object Comparison Tool for z/OS program GOC2CMP loops
  printing blank lines under the FIELDS IGNORED WHEN COMPARING
  SOURCE AND TARGET OBJECTS section of its reporting.
  

Local fix

• Use the LE runtime STORAGE parm to initialize the variables
  responsible for the error.
  For example, if your original parms were:
  //T03COMP EXEC PGM=GOC2CMP,PARM=(/;REPCHG)
  change them to:
  //T03COMP EXEC PGM=GOC2CMP,PARM=('STORAGE(,,00)/;REPCHG)
  To make the LE STORAGE option a default parm, modify the
  variable cmpparm in EXEC GOCGCMP:
  EDIT       XXX.XXXXXXX.EXEC(GOCGCMP)
  Command ===>
  001703 cmpparm = '/'debugl';'
  001728   cmpparm= '/'debugl';'
  
  to:
  
  001703 cmpparm = 'STORAGE(,,00)/'debugl';'
  001728   cmpparm = 'STORAGE(,,00)/'debugl';'
