Error description

  • In a few circumstances, COPY with CHECKPAGE does not detect
    an inconsistency in the page end flags.
    For instance in one reported case COPY was not detecting the
    inconsistency that was correctly reported by DSN1COPY CHECK with
    the following message:
    DSN1990I DSN1CPGD BROKEN PAGE. PAGE NUMBER = 00000002
    REASON: PAGE END FLAGS INCONSISTENT.
    SERVICE INFO: CODE= 'C2A'X  PGCOMB='E0'X  PGTAIL='00'X
    Problem happens also for other similar error codes (i.e.:x'C29')
    The COPY utility should return an error message like DSNU518I.
    Problem does not occur in DB2 v10.

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 9 for z/OS and DB2 10 for z/OS users *
    *                 of COPY utility.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: COPY utility does not detect broken     *
    *                      data pages in a table space or abends   *
    *                      with REASON=X'00E40100' and             *
    *                      CAUSE=X'00C20042'                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available.         *
    ****************************************************************
    COPY utility was run on a table space with a broken page but did
    not detect nor report it and the job completed with rc0.  When
    DSN1COPY with CHECK option was run against the same table space,
    it reported the broken page with the following message:
    
    DSN1990I DSN1CPGD BROKEN PAGE. PAGE NUMBER = 00000002.
    REASON: PAGE END FLAGS INCNSISTENT
    SERVICE INFO: CODE= 'C2A'X  PGCOMB='00'X  PGTAIL='00'X
    
    This page had PGCOMB = '00'X and PGEND = 'N', indicating it was
    broken.  COPY utility did not identify it because it does not
    always check the page end flags of data pages in table spaces.
    
    With such broken data pages in table spaces, COPY could also
    abend with REASON=X'00E40100' and CAUSE=X'00C20042'. Abend was
    likely to happen when the pages were not already in bufferpool
    before the COPY job started.
    
    Additional Keywords:  ABEND04E RC00E40100 RC00C20042
    

Problem conclusion

  • COPY utility has been modified to always check page end flags of
    data pages and not abend with broken pages.
