PM11472: LOAD ABEND0C4 IN DISCARD PHASE WHEN INCORRECT SYSREC FILE WAS SPECIFIED AS INPUT. DB2OVRLAY/K SMCOVERLAY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A BLOBF PDS file was accidentally specified as the SYSREC to a
  LOAD.  The LOAD abended in the DISCARD phase with an 0C4.
  Storage areas were overlaid that then caused other DB2 processes
  to abend.  DB2 had to be re-cycled to correct the problem.
  DB2OVRLAY/K
  

Local fix

• Avoid specifying incorrect SYSREC input files.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: LOAD INTO TABLE specifying a            *
  *                      Partitioned Data Set (PDS) as the input *
  *                      data set results in ABENDS0C4 at        *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available          *
  ****************************************************************
  LOAD INTO TABLE specifying a PDS without a member name as the
  input data set resulted in an ABEND0C4 at DSNSVSGM+x'08D8'.
  Because the input data set was specified only as a PDS without a
  member name, LOAD attempted to read and process the entire data
  set as a sequential file.  This caused all of the 'rows' to be
  discarded.
  
  While processing a discarded 'row', the length of the row was
  interpreted to be greater than 32K which, when copied from one
  buffer to another, overlayed into storage not allocated for the
  receiving buffer resulting in the ABENDS0C4.

Problem conclusion

• Code has been modified such that a Partitioned Data Set (PDS)
  without a member name is not allowed as the input data set.  If
  this occurs, MSGDSNU034I - "DATA SET TYPE INVALID FOR DDNAME
  ddname" and the utility will abend with ABEND04E RC00E40070.
