PM76803: REORG TS - INCORRECT JOB BREAKDOWN FOR GROUP PARTITIONS BY STEP

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When specifying "Group Partitions By Step" on TS REORG utility
  profile, the job breakdown is incorrect after building the job.
  Prior to this fix, specifying Group Partitions By "S" (Step)
  works as if Group Partitions By "J" (Job) were specified.
  A difference between Job and Step is described below:
  .
  Group Partitions By "J" specifies that all partitions of a
  partitioned object are to be grouped together in the same Job.
  The partitioned objects will be grouped into one step within
  that job.  Objects will not be split across multiple jobs even
  though this might exceed other job breakdown values.
  .
  Group Partitions By "S" specifies that all partitions of a
  partitioned object are to be grouped together in the same Step.
  Like the "J" option, this might override other job breakdown
  values.  Using this option, partitions of a partitioned object
  might be split across multiple jobs as required by job breakdown
  values.  However, all related partitioned objects will be
  grouped together in the same step within each job.  When
  REORGing partitioned objects with Non-Partitioning Indexes
  (NPIs) using DB2 V9+, specifying "J" prevents DB2 from shadowing
  the NPIs more than once.
  .
  Group Partitions By "N" specifies that grouping of partitioned
  objects is not required.
