PM49142: LARGE NUMBER OF BIND OR REBIND COMMANDS ( 1000+ ) RESULTS IN NO JCL AND NO MESSAGES MULTIVOLUME ZTEMPN EXEC ADB2W1

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS does not provide any
  error messages to indicate that the ZTEMPN dataset used to hold
  JCL for BIND and REBIND commands was allocated onto a
  multi-volume dataset and the LMINIT command in EXEC(ADB2W1)
  had failed.
  
  Customers issuing the BIND or REBIND command from panel ADB21K
  'Packages' will see the panel ADB2PST@ 'Statement Execution
  Prompt' warning customers "DB2 Admin is about to execute
  multiple statements. The number of statements exceeds 20, which
  is too large to be executed immediately." if they then select
  option '1 - Create a batch job with the statements' they
  will eventually return to panel ADB21K 'Packages' with no
  messages.

  ****************************************************************
  In DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS, when issuing the BIND or
  REBIND command on panel ADB21K to bind or rebind more than 20
  packages, and choose Option 1 on panel ADB2PST@ to create
  a batch job with the statements, panel ADB2UE does not show
  as expected, due to an RC=8 error when invoking the ISPF
  service LMINIT if it is used against a multi-volume dataset
  by ddname.
  

Problem conclusion

• Program has been updated to invoke the DB2 Administration Tool
  error panel ADB2ER 'ISPF Dialog Error' when experiencing the
  ISPF service LMINIT error. Messages shows as below:
  
  Function : ADB2W1, LINE 3518: LMINIT DDNAME(MULTI)
  DATAID(DATAID)
  Retcode  : 8
  Zerrmsg  : ISRZ002
  Zerrsm   : Invalid data set
  Zerrlm   : Multivolume data sets are not supported by
  LMINIT by DDNAME, or when the VOLUME parameter
  is used.
