Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• User-defined symbol variables can now be specified in the
  ADBTEMPL DD file.  Also, the following DB2 Admin product-defined
  symbol variables can be specified in the ADBTEMPL DD file:
  
  1- The &CHGTAG. symbol variable
  2- The following are product-defined symbol variables that are
  active only when specified in the ADBTEMPL DD file:
    a- &PREFIX.
       The value of the prefix_for_data_sets parameter.
    b- &TNAME.
       Object type count ID.  Resolves to a one character object
       type identifier followed by a count of that object type.
       The maximum length this symbol variable resolves to is 5.
  
  For example:
  T0001 - for the first table being processed
  T0002 - for the second table being processed
  T0003 - for the third table being processed
  and so on.
  
  S0001 - for the first table space being processed
  S0002 - for the second table space being processed
  S0003 - for the third table space being processed
  and so on.
  
  I0001 - for the first index being processed
  I0002 - for the second index being processed
  I0003 - for the third index being processed
  and so on.
