DB2 Z/OS UNLOAD RETURNS ABEND=S04E U0000 REASON=00E40079. Can you help with a solution?

Asked by: Enuda

Hi all,
I am doing a tablespace unload and abending with a ABEND=S04E U0000 REASON=00E40079 error. Tablespace is a 32K sized object. The blocksize is set at 32768 and this works for all other tablespace size (4, 8 16Ks) but having problem with 32K. Can someone help with a solution?  Here are the JCL doing the unload:

what happens if you don't specify a blksize for the sysrec file?
db2 should be able to set it automatically

 

by: EnudaPosted on 2008-05-25 at 04:46:51ID: 21642145

momi_sabaq,
Guess what? I get the same result;

  WITHOUT DCB
//SYSREC DD DUMMY

  WITH DCB
//*SYSREC DD DUMMY,DCB=BLKSIZE=32768

    SAME ERROR!!
SYSPRINT ERROR MESSAGE:
DSNUGUTC - OUTPUT START FOR UTILITY, UTILID = HR192810.HR19281Y
DSNUGTIS - PROCESSING SYSIN AS EBCDIC
DSNUGUTC -  UNLOAD TABLESPACE AAPYRLL1.TS32K02S NOPAD
DSNUGSDA - BLOCK SIZE FOR DCB, DDNAME SYSREC, IS TOO SMALL, MUST BE AT LEAST 25363 BYTES
DSNUGBAC - UTILITY BATCH MEMORY EXECUTION ABENDED, REASON=X'00E40079'

32768 is certaily larger than 25363 and as far as I know the largest blocksize can only be 3276?

 

by: momi_sabagPosted on 2008-05-25 at 05:40:08ID: 21642337

now i see what is the problem
why are you using dummy?

try this
//SYSREC DD DCB=BLKSIZE=32768,DISP=(NEW,cATLG),DSN=SOME.FILE.NAME

 

by: EnudaPosted on 2008-05-25 at 05:59:19ID: 21642433

Because I just want to generate the SYSPUNCH PDS MEMBER. It worked for all other tablespace types!
Don't you think it odd that it is behaving this way?

 

by: momi_sabagPosted on 2008-05-25 at 06:02:25ID: 21642444

yes
i guess it's odd
why do you need to generate the syspunch file? where do you get the data you load from ?

 

by: EnudaPosted on 2008-05-25 at 07:19:38ID: 21642762

The data is coming from production and the why is that the test tables have had some column additions and other release changes that are not in prod yet.  

 

by: momi_sabagPosted on 2008-05-25 at 07:30:12ID: 21642779

anyways, if you just want to generate the syspunch file, do one of these two options:
use dsntiaul with the sql option (using the SQL parameter) and enter
select * from your_table fetch first 0 rows only
this way db2 will not actually unload any data and it will be faster

to use the same thing with db2 unload utlity use
unload..... sample 0
this will tell db2 to unload no rows
i'd suggest that you don't allocate the sysrec file,
use db2's template to allocate the sysrec, this way it will allocate it byitself and you will have less work to do

 

by: EnudaPosted on 2008-05-25 at 07:58:46ID: 21642845

Can you provide an example of both methods? I'll appreciate it.

 

by: momi_sabagPosted on 2008-05-25 at 08:08:59ID: 21642861

i recommend the second one, so this is what i'll show here

try this
//HRS10037   EXEC HRS1PROC,SYSTEM=HRS1,UID='',UTPROC=''
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS2.DB2.HRS1.SDSNLOAD
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HRS1.DB2.RUNLIB.LOAD
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DSNUPROC.SYSIN DD   *
TEMPLATE TMPLPNCH
              DSN (HERE.YOU.WRITE.THE.DSN.NAME.&DB..&TS.)
              DISP (MOD,CATLG,CATLG)

TEMPLATE TMPLREC UNIT SYSDA
              DSN (HERE.YOU.WRITE.THE.DSN.NAME.&DB..&TS.)
              DISP (NEW,DELETE,DELETE)


unload data from tablespace db.tsname1 punchddn tmplpnch unlddn tmplrec from table schema.table sample 0

note that db2 automatically switch the &db with the dbname and the &ts with the tablespace name
