PH48184: DB2 FOR Z/OS PRODUCT IDENTIFIER (PRDID) UPDATE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• db2ddf d18787
  The pppvvrrm format of the PRDID values for Db2 for z/OS
  identify the version, release, and a modification level of Db2
  in various contexts. Specifically, the modification level (m)
  portion of the PRDID value is used in Db2 13 for z/OS and later
  does not accurately reflect the DRDA level of the Db2 for z/OS
  server, which corresponds to a specific function level in Db2
  13 for z/OS and later.

  Db2 for z/OS product identifier (PRDID) update.
  The pppvvrrm format PRDID values for Db2 for z/OS identify the
  version, release, and a modification level of Db2 in various
  contexts. As described in the Product identifier (PRDID) values
  in Db2 for z/OS online product documentation, the pppvvrrm
  value has the following parts:
   - ppp = identifies the product, such as `DSN` for Db2 for z/OS
   - vv = identifies the version, such as `13` for Db2 13
   - rr = identifies the release, which is usually 01 for Db2
   - m = identifies the modification level
  In Db2 12 and earlier releases, the pppvvrrm format PRDID
  values indicated only a range of function levels which roughly
  corresponded to the conversion mode (CM) and new-function mode
  (NFM) migration modes from Db2 11
  and earlier releases:
   DSN13010 = V13R1M100
   DSN13015 = V13R1M500 or higher
  However, the migration modes such as CM and NFM are obsolete
  concepts, which are generally not used in Db2 12 or later, and
  these concepts should not be carried forward in Db2 13.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Db2 13 for z/OS changes the modification level (m) portion of
  the PRDID value in Db2 13 and later, so that it accurately
  reflects the DRDA level of the Db2 data server, which
  corresponds to a specific function level in Db2 13 and later.
  For example,
   DSN13010 = V13R1M100
   DSN13011 = V13R1M500
   DSN13012 = V13R1M501
   DSN13013 = V13R1M502
   DSN13014 = V13R1M503
   DSN13015 = V13R1M504
   DSN13016 = V13R1M505
   DSN13017 = V13R1M506
   DSN13018 = V13R1M507
   DSN13019 = V13R1M508
   DSN1301A = V13R1M509
   DSN1301B = V13R1M510
   DSN1301C = V13R1M511
   DSN1301D = V13R1M512
   DSN1301E = V13R1M513
   DSN1301F = V13R1M514
  The PRDID value descriptions will be updated appropriately in
  the Db2 13 online product documentation.
