X'E4......' codes

Reason code identifiers that begin with 00E4 communicate normal and error situations with DB2® utilities.

Many of the utilities codes ask you to determine the failing environment. This means that you should determine the following things:

  • The address space in which the failure occurred
  • The utility that was running
  • Whether it was a restart of a utility that failed previously
  • Whether the job step invocation was through the DSNUTILB program
  • Whether a -DISPLAY or -TERM UTILITY command was involved.

To assist you in determining the problem, register 2 might contain a secondary reason code. This secondary reason code might be an IBM® internal reason code; therefore, it might not be documented in this manual.

When DB2 resources are unavailable to utilities, message DSNT500I is issued along with the utility reason code. Refer to message DSNT500I for the correct action.
