Error description

  • The DB2 Administration Tool CM ANALYZE command JCL contains
    a hardcoded SPACE parm for the CAT ddname:
    //CAT      DD DSN=&&CATOUT,
    //            DCB=(LRECL=16800,RECFM=VB,DSORG=PS),
    //            SPACE=(TRK,(15,15),RLSE),
    //            UNIT=SYSDA,
    //            DISP=(NEW,PASS)
    which results in a ABENDx37 when larger volumes of changes
    are processed.
