PM63209: ABENDU0031 ABEND WHEN TRYING TO FIND A DB2 V10 COMPRESSION DICTIONARY IN A PARTITION TABLESPACE OF TYPE LARGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DB2 V10 allows compression dictionaries to be built on the fly.
  The dictionary when built this way can be stored at a much
  higher than normal page number. The routine that was calculating
  the page number within the partition was  incorrectly
  calculating the page number when the Tablespace was large. This
  calculation caused the wrong page to be loaded to search for the
  dictionary and led to the U=0031 ABEND in Log
  Analysis Tool.
