APAR status

Error description

• A physical unload (UNLDDN) in internal format (INTERNAL_FORMAT
  option) produces incorrect output data that cannot be loaded by
  the DB2 LOAD utility.
  
  This occurs if the following conditions are fullfilled:
  
      the involved table space is partitionned
      the output data set (UNLDDN) is allocated by the use of a
                                             TEMPLATE statement.
      the DB2 HPU/InfoUnload settings sepcify GBLPARAL = NO
  
  A typical unload statement where this issue occurs is :
  TEMPLATE UNLDDATA DSN ME.MYUNLOAD.OUTPUT.DATA
  UNIT 3390 DISP (NEW,CATLG,CATLG)
  
  UNLOAD TABLESPACE DSN8DA1A.DSN8SA1E
  UNLDDN(UNLDDATA)
  INTERNAL_FORMAT
  
  Attempting to load the data unloaded by DB2 HPU/InfoUnload leads
  to a failure such as that reported by the DB2 LOAD utility by
  the following message :
  
  DSNU334I @ 018 12:17:50.56 DSNURWBF - INPUT FIELD 'RECORD HEADER
  LENGTH FOR FORMAT INTERNAL',
  INVALID FOR 'DSN8A10.EMP',
  ERROR CODE '34'
  
  PB44130
  

Local fix

• Use logical unload - SELECT * FROM, and FORMAT INTERNAL with
  OUTDDN option.
