Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This customer runs a lot of Online Check Index utilities in his
  shop and he complains about the excessive amount of DFDSS
  messages (ADRxxxx) in the job outputs, even when the jobs run
  fine.
  Messages can be directed to DSSPRINT dataset if the DD card is
  coded in the job, while if it is not coded the messages fill
  the SYSPRINT output.
  Customer would liKe DB2 to dynamically allocate the DSSPRINT
  dataset if the DD is not explicitely coded in the JCL.
  

Local fix

• Code a DSSPRINT DD in the JCL.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 V8 for z/OS and DB2 9 for z/OS       *
  *                 users of CHECK utilities with SHRLEVEL       *
  *                 CHANGE                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CHECK INDEX/LOB/DATA SHRLEVEL CHANGE    *
  *                      invokes DSSCOPY to copy shadow          *
  *                      data sets, but DSSPRINT DD card is      *
  *                      not honored for DSSCOPY messages.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A DSSPRINT DD card was specified on a CHECK INDEX SHRLEVEL
  CHANGE job, but the DSSCOPY output was still routed to
  SYSPRINT. This error occurs on CHECK DATA SHRLEVEL CHANGE
  and CHECK LOB SHRLEVEL CHANGE as well.
  
  Additional Keywords: CHECK LOB DATA INDEX SHRLEVEL CHANGE
                       DSSPRINT
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified CHECK utilities using SHRLEVEL CHANGE to honor the
  DSSPRINT DD card.
  
  When using DSSPRINT error messages for the DSSCOPY will
  be routed to the DSSPRINT DD card and will not appear
  in the utility job output routed to SYSPRINT.
