PI83877: ADBTEP2 ENDS WITH RC0 WHEN USER-SPECIFIED RESTART LABEL NOT IN WSL; WSL CANNOT RESTART AT PREVIOUS POINT OF FAILURE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ADBTEP2 ends with RC=0 when a user-specified
  restarting point is not in a WSL.  As a result, the deletion of
  the restart point information from the DB2 Admin check-
  point table makes the WSL unable to restart from the
  previous point of failure.
  With this APAR, when a user-specified restart label is not
  found in a WSL, the job will end with RC=8, and a new error
  message, ADB5278E / msgadb5278e, will be displayed:
  ADB5278E User restart label label_name was not found.
  Review WSL and ensure to have the specified restart label.
