Error description

  • LOAD utility process the VARGRAPHIC column incorrectly when the
input is delimited UTF-16 file and the data is a NULL for
column.

Local fix

  • Do not use delimited file to load.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 9 for z/OS and DB2 10 for z/OS       *
*                 users of the LOAD utility with delimited     *
*                 input and vargraphic unicode columns.        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In DB2 V9 ABEND04E RC00E20005 DSNSVBK   *
*                      OFFSET09AC and in DB2 V10 ABENDS0C4     *
*                      DSNSCON2 OFFSET15A4 when using the      *
*                      LOAD utility with delimited input       *
*                      on a unicode table with nullable        *
*                      vargraphic columns.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available          *
****************************************************************
A LOAD DATA FORMAT DELIMITED on a unicode table with a nullable
vargraphic column abended with an ABEND04E RC00E20005 DSNSVBK
+x'09AC' (V9) or an ABEND0C4 DSNSCON2 +x'15A4' (V10).  The LOAD
utility was interpreting the length of the nullable vargraphic
field incorrectly because it was not recognizing the delimited
input data, causing a storage overlay.  In some cases, the
overlay caused DB2 to crash with MSGDSNV086E RC00D94001.

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been modified to correctly process delimited data
for nullable vargraphic columns in a unicode table.
