Error description
The INZU250E INVALID DATETIME CONSTANT 'datetime value' message is unduly issued regarding a valid date/time constant specified by a logical unload. - If the native mode is requested (DB2 NO), the unload stops and ends with a completion code of 8. - If the SQL mode is allowed (DB2 YES), the processing continues in SQL mode with a completion code greater than or equal to 4. This occurs if all the following conditions are fulfilled: - the Db2 sub-system is set up with a LOCAL DATE/TIME format - the logical unload specifies an SQL expression involving a date/time constant, (the expression may consist of the date/time constant itself) either in the list of selected items or in the WHERE clause
Local fix
- For an unload from an image copy (COPYDDN option), no workaround exists. - For any other unload, specify DB2 FORCE to allow the unload to complete without the INZU250E message being unduly issued. - For any unload running with DB2 YES that completes successfully, a return code of 4 will be issued regardless of whether the INZU250E message is issued or not, and needs to be tolerated.
