PI30243: INCORRECT UI20718 AND UI20719 ++HOLD ACTIONS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• APAR that would correct ++HOLD actions for
  UI20718 and UI20719 (code for those PTFs is working properly,
  just description in ++HOLD is incorrect/confusing, and should be
  ignored)
  

Local fix

• ignore ++HOLD for UI20718 and UI20719

  APAR PI07515 provides new options for DB2 subsystem parameter
  DSN6FAC.DDF_COMPATIBILITY to help users compensate for
  unexpected behavior of remote client application environments.
  
  In order to provide additional space to store the new options,
  PI07515 changed the format of the DB2 installation CLIST input
  (DSNTIDxx) member entries for DDF_COMPATIBILITY from this:
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY LSTR  M  <a>
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY1 LSTR  M  <b>
  to this:
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY LLST  M  <a>
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY1 LLST  M  <b>
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY2 LLST  M  <c>
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY3 LLST  M  <d>
    DDF_COMPATIBILITY4 LLST  M  <e>
  
  However, PI07515 failed to include a change to DSNTXAZP, the
  refresh tool for DSNTIDxx members, to make it use the new
  format.
  
  Both fixing PTFs for PI07515 contain a ++HOLD action that
  instructs users of DSNTXAZP to bind a package for it using
  ACTION(ADD).  Because the intended update of DSNTXAZP was not
  included in the PTFs for PI07515, its DBRM and module are
  unchanged when you apply the PTF.  If a package is already bound
  from the existing DSNTXAZP DBRM in prefix.SDSNDBRM, the bind
  with ACTION(ADD) request fails with the symptoms noted in the
  problem description section of this APAR.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR provides the missing DSNTXAZP changes that were not
  included in PI07515.
