Error description

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    [Updated on Jan/6/2010 by Yi-Feng Tung]
    
    SMP/E (PGM=GIMSMP) returns code 8 and the following messages
    when applying a DB2 for z/OS PTF that is associated with
    DSNZPARM changes.
    .
    Example (PTF UQ89539):
    ASMA939U Unable to load external function module - DSNTIXL
    .
    GIM44801I  DSNTILMx WAS ASSEMBLED BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLE SUBENTRY
               WAS SET IN THE MOD ENTRY.
    .
    GIM24001E ** ASSEMBLER PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD UQ89539 FAILED FOR
                 MODULE DSNTILMx IN THE SMPCSI LIBRARY. THE RETURN
                 CODE (20) EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE VALUE. DATE yy.jjj
                 - TIME hh:mm:ss.  (DSNTILMM for searchability)
    .
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:  DB2 installation Job DSNTIJUZ is used to
      create and maintain the DB2 system paramter (DSNZPxxx) module.
      DSNTIMQ, the last job step of DSNTIJUZ, runs SMP/E JCLIN whose
      processing will be among other items set up by GENASM entries
      on seven of the DB2 system parameter (DSN6xxxx) macros.  The
      purpose is to cause service to any of these macro's to trigger
      SMP/E to initiate a reassembly of the DB2 system parameter
      module.
    .
      In DB2 V8 and V9, the DSN6SPRM and DSN6SYSP macros use a
      DB2-supplied external assembler function named DSNTIXL. When
      a PTF causes one of the GENASM entries to initiate reassembly
      of the system parameter module, a load error occurs because
      the DSNTIXL function resides in the SDSNLOAD library and the
      assembler is unable to allocate SDSNLOAD to perform the load.
    .
      This will be resolved by adding an APF authorized version of
      SDSNLOAD to SMP/E APPLY JOBLIB/STEPLIB.
    
      For example,
    
        //JOBLIB   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2.SDSNLOAD
        //S1       EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,
        //         PARM='PROCESS=WAIT',
        //         DYNAMNBR=120
        //SMPCSI   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2.GLOBAL.CSI
        //SMPCNTL  DD *
          SET     BOUNDARY (targetzone)
                  .
          APPLY
                  SELECT   (
                            xxxxxxx
                            )
    
    
    .
      This will APPLY the SYSMOD successfully.  Please be sure to
      follow the ++HOLD actions in the PTF to rebuild your DB2
      system parameter module after you apply it.
    .
      This problem can occur for any service that affects any of
      the macros shown below:
    
        MAC(DSN6ENV)
        MAC(DSN6SPRM)
        MAC(DSN6ARVP)
        MAC(DSN6LOGP)
        MAC(DSN6SYSP)
        MAC(DSN6FAC)
        MAC(DSN6GRP)
    
    .

    .

    MODULE DSNTILM2 IN THE SMPCSI LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE WAS 20.
    .
    ---POSSIBLE CAUSES---
    1.  THE ASSEMBLER TEXT WAS IN ERROR.
    2.  THE WRONG LEVEL OF MACROS WAS BEING USED.
    3.  THE WRONG SET OF MACLIBS WAS BEING USED.
