  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The user specified Template usage for   *

  *                                                              *

  *                      and the actual dataset created was:     *

  *                      as the literals DBNAME and TSNAME were  *
  *                      used instead of the actual database     *
  *                      and table space name.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The user-defined Template for the UNLOAD dataset used the
  literals DBNAME and TSNAME instead of the actual database and
  table space name.
  

Problem conclusion

• When fully resolving templates associated with object level
  operations in a change flow (i.e. ALT, OC and CM excluding
  CM Batch), the &DBNAME and &TSNAME variable will now resolve
  to their correct pre-change values and these data set names
  will be used throughout the change. For example, if a table
  space changes data base or table space during the course of
  the change, all of the related names for the UNLOAD, CONVERSION
  and LOAD will resolve to the ORIGINAL database or table
  space and be used for the unload, convert and load operations.
