Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 10 for z/OS and all DB2 11 for z/OS  *
  *                 users running z/OS V2R2.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Support z/OS V2R2 DFSMS new generation  *
  *                      data group (GDG) format that allows up  *
  *                      to 999 active GDSs.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The TEMPLATE utility control statement is modified to support
  EXTENDED GDGs, which are available in z/OS V2R2.
  
  When running on z/OS V2R2 the maximum operand value for the
  GDGLIMIT keyword is 999, instead of 255 as it is when running
  on previous releases of z/OS.
  
  The Utility Guide and Reference is modified under the
  TEMPLATE GDGLIMIT keyword to read:
  
    GDGLIMIT (integer)
  
      Specifies the number of entries that are to be created
      in a GDG base if a GDG DSN is specified and the base
      does not already exist.  If a GDG base does not already
      exist and you do not want to define one, specify a
      GDGLIMIT of zero (0).
  
    | The default value is 99.  The minimum value is 0.
    | The maximum value depends on the z/OS release on which
    | the subsystem is being executed.  Prior to z/OS V2R2, the
    | maximum value is 255.  Beginning with z/OS V2R2, the
    | maximum value is 999.  To use values greater than 255,
    | "GDGEXTENDED(YES)" must be specified in
    | SYS1.PARMLIB(IGGCATxx).  Otherwise, values above 255 will
    | fail during allocation.
  

Problem conclusion

Comments
