PM91229: ABENDX37 FOR UTLMAP TEMPLATE IN LOAD DUE TO HARD CODED SPACE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS built an APPLY job which
  had a hard coded SPACE for the UTLMAP TEMPLATE in LOAD. As the
  SPACE did not follow the DB2 sizing guidelines the job ended
  with an ABENDx37 when records were discarded.
  

Local fix

• Manually code the UTLMAP TEMPLATE and do not specify a SPACE
  keyword.

  ****************************************************************
  The DB2 Administration Tool and DB2 Object Comparison Tool for
  z/OS built an APPLY job which had a hard coded SPACE for the
  TEMPLATE in LOAD. As the SPACE did not follow the DB2 sizing
  guidelines, the job ended with an ABENDx37 / abend037 when
  were discarded:
  
  DSNUGBAC - UTILITY BATCH MEMORY EXECUTION ABENDED,
  REASON=X'0B37'.
  
  The same problem exists for UTLDISC and UTLERR templates.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem has been resolved.  The SPACE keyword has been removed
  from the TEMPLATE statements of UTLMAP, UTLERR and UTLDISC for
  the LOAD utility generated in the APPLY job to allow DB2 to
  calculate the default size for each data set.
  
  In some cases, while processing a TEMPLATE control statement
  which does not include a SPACE keyword, DB2 could not calculate
  the default data set size.  For example, when the input data
  set to the LOAD utility resides on tape. In this case, a
  user-defined template should be used for other data sets with
  the SPACE keyword specified.
