Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All Db2 12 for z/OS users of UNLOAD * * TABLESPACE NOPAD VARCHAR STRIP TRAILING * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * ABEND04E RCOOE2002F in DSNSVSFM * * OFFSET00838 during an UNLOAD * * TABLESPACE NOPAD utility specifying * * STRIP TRAILING on a VARCHAR column. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply corrective PTF when available * **************************************************************** User ran an UNLOAD TABLESPACE NOPAD FROM TABLE with a field specification of VARCHAR STRIP TRAILING. The VARCHAR column contained all blanks. The STRIP TRAILING operation stripped all blanks resulting in a 0 length column. The length of 0 was then used to try and move the field causing an overlay which resulted in the ABEND04E RC00E2002F DSNSVSFM +x'00838'. The same problem can occur for VARGRAPHIC fields.
Problem conclusion
UNLOAD code has been modified to check for a zero length field following the STRIP TRAILING function.
Temporary fix
