Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the DB2 Object Comparison Tool      *
  *                 for z/OS who produce version files for       *
  *                 source and target objects on tape /          *
  *                 'removable media' / 'CART' / '3480'          *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The DB2 Object Compare Tool can produce *
  *                      version files (VER files) for source    *
  *                      and target objects on tape / 'removable *

  *                      are especially useful when VER files    *
  *                      are very large. VER file output to a    *

  Program will rewrite to the version file to store the version
  record count in the header of the version file.  If the version
  resides on the tape / 'removable media' / 'CART'/ or '3480'
  device, the rewrite will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• New DD GENVERI is added to the GEN step to store the version
  record count if the version file resides on the tape device or
  other device that does not support REWRITE.
  
  New DD DTCVERI is added to the GOC2DTC step to store the
  version record count if the version file resides on the tape
  device or other device that does not support REWRITE.
  
  New DD BASEVERI is added to MERGE step to give the version
  record count if the version file resides on the tape device
  or other device that does not support REWRITE.
  
  New DD SRCVERI and TGTVERI are added to give the version
  record count if the version file resides on the tape device or
  other device that does not support REWRITE.
  
  Three new messages are added:
  
  
  ADB1195I The >version file name< could not be updated
  to store the record count.
  
  Explanation: The record count could not be updated in
  >version file name<.
  System action: The record count is >record count< and
  has been written to the >file name< temporary file for using
  later in this job.
  User response: None.
  
  ADB1196W The >version file name< DD file can be updated to
  record the estimated number of records.
  The >file name< DD file, which is an alternate location to
  store the record count, is not defined or fails to store the
  record count.
  
  Explanation: The >version file name< cannot be updated to
  record the estimated number of records. The >file name< DD
  file, which is an alternate location to store the record count,
  is not defined or fails to store the record count. Using the
  >version file name< DD file in other processes can sometimes
  cause the sort process to underestimate the number of records
  in the file, which can lead to errors due to insufficient sort
  work file sizes.
  System action: None.
  User response: If >file name< DD is not defined, it is
  recommended that you generate the job again. If >file name<
  DD fails to store the record count, it is recommended that
  you fix the data set problem and try again.
  
  ADB7104I The >file name< DD file is not defined which can
  lead to errors due to insufficient sort work file size.
  
  Explanation:  The >file name< DD file, which is an alternate
  location to store the record count, is not defined. Using the
  >version file name< DD file in this process can sometimes
  cause the sort process to underestimate the number of records
  in the file, which can lead to errors due to insufficient sort
  work file sizes. If >version file name< DD is not defined, it
  is recommended that you generate the job again. This message is
  just for the version file which is created by GEN or DTC. If
  the version file is created from change management, ignore this
  information.
  System action: None.
  User response: If >version file name< DD is not defined, it is
  recommended that you generate the job again.
