Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
*                 who call stored procedure ADB2FMP            *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When calling stored procedure ADB2FMP   *
*                      with a WLM started task that does not   *
*                      have a SYSPRINT DD statement in its job *
*                      step, processing might enter an         *
*                      infinite loop.                          *
****************************************************************
This APAR corrects error handling for the condition in which the
SYSPRINT DD is missing. Now, instead of looping, the call to
stored procedure ADB2FMP that previously would have entered an
infinite loop will end early with return code 42 and return the
message "MISSING SYSPRINT DD."

Problem conclusion


    

  • The problem has been resolved.

Workaround: Add //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=<class> to the WLM
            procedure used by ADB2FMP.
