Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: DB2 for z/OS Version 11 administrators,      *
  *                 executing either a DISPLAY, START, STOP or   *
  *                 ACCESS DATABASE command, specifying ranges   *
  *                 on the PART keyword.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The syntax checking for ranges within   *
  *                      the PART keyword doesn't detect all     *
  *                      combinations of malformed range         *
  *                      specifications. Especially open         *
  *                      intervals (only the lower or upper end  *
  *                      of a range is specified but not both    *
  *                      ends) are not detected, leading to      *
  *                      unexpected behavior when executing the  *
  *                      command.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Malformed range specifications on the PART keyword for DISPLAY,
  START, STOP or ACCESS DATABASE commands are not detected and can
  lead to unexpected behavior.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix introduces additional syntax checking for range
  specifications on the PART keyword. Malformed ranges will now
  result in a new DSNT325I message and the termination of the
  command.
