Error description

  • When the last partition of a PBR member cluster table space was
    the maximum allowed partition and reached its DSSIZE, insert
    still tried to allocate a new segment. When calculating the next
    
    space map page for the new segment,  the boundary check didn't
    work properly and allowed the space map page number to overflow
    from 'FFFFFXXX' to '00000XXX', which led to RC00C90101 DSNISGSS
    ERQUAL5003 abend.

Local fix

  • BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION:
    If the last part contains some free space, REORG the part to
    reclaim them to avoid hitting DSSIZE.

    ****************************************************************
    An RC00C90101 DSNISGSS ERQUAL5003 abend occurred because an
    insert into a partition-by-range (PBR) member cluster table
    space, where the last partition had reached its DSSIZE and
    the maximum partition limit, erroneously tried to allocate
    a new segment. This was due to an improper boundary check
    in the space map page calculation, leading to an overflow.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Db2 is modified to correct the space map page boundary check
    that prevents the overflow.
