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) . Additional R810 Symptom also reported: -------------------------------------' . UK09239 HDB8810 GIM24001E 1 ASSEMBLER PROCESSING FAILED FOR 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. . 1PAGE 0003 - NOW SET TO TARGET ZONE TGTRDB2 DATE MM/DD/YY TIME 12:29:06 SMP/E 33.10 SMPRPT OUTPUT .
