PI94404: DR PREP - DELETE DSNAME FAILS WITH DSNJ218I

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During DR Prep Db2 Recovery Expert copies the BSDS into BSDS.ARY
  then re-reads the BSDS to get a list of archive records. Because
  it is re-reading the BSDS there is the potential that new BSDS
  archive records have been added that do not exist in its copy of
  the BSDS (i.e. - BSDS.ARY).  If Db2 Recovery Expert attempts to
  DELETE/RENAME any new archive records that have not been copied,
  then the user will see DSNJ218I.
  The fix is when re-reading the BSDS, to re-read from BSDS.ARY
  and not the original BSDS.
