Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Enhance acquisition and use of storge when LOAD has to handle
  rows with duplicate key values.
  

Local fix

• Eliminate dupliates from SYSREC input file before running LOAD.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 9 for z/OS and DB2 10 for z/OS users *
  *                 running LOAD on a table with a unique index. *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: LOAD utility issuing a huge number      *
  *                      of MSGDSNU345I messages, along with a   *
  *                      MSGICE247I message, resulted in         *
  *                      ABEND04E RC00E40020, and ABEND04E       *
  *                      RC00E20015 at DSNSVSTK + x'0124'.       *
  *                      DB2 subsystem abnormally terminated     *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available.         *
  ****************************************************************
  A LOAD utility was run on a table with a unique index.
  During the LOAD, a huge number of duplicate keys were detected
  resulting in DSNU345I - UNIQUE INDEX KEY DUPLICATES KEY FROM
  INPUT RECORD... being issued. During the LOAD, message
  ICE247I - INTERMEDIATE MERGE ENTERED - PERFORMANCE MAY BE
  DEGRADED was also issued. Following this, LOAD abended with
  ABEND04E RC00E20015 at DSNSVSTK + x'0124' followed by ABEND04E
  RC00E40020. DB2 then issued MSGDSNV086E - DB2 ABNORMAL
  TERMINATION and abnormally terminated with ABEND04F RC00E50706
  due to below the bar storage shortage.
  
  The storage shortage occurred because the control blocks used
  to handle duplicate keys were not reused nor deallocated, but
  always newly allocated when processing the duplicate keys.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified to properly allocate and reuse
  storage for duplicate keys processing.
