Issue/Introduction

This article explains the number of DBUTLTY RECOVERY RECBASE statements that can be coded in a single execution and if some or any of multiple RECBASE statements use the RANGE version of the DBID parameter (i.e., DBID=nnnn-mmmm).

Environment

z/OS

 

Resolution

DBUTLTY RECOVERY statement RECBASE is "unlimited" which means one can have 5000 RECBASE statements--one per DBID--since Datacom is limited to 5000 DBIDs per Datacom Multi-User (MUF) instance.

RANGEs can also be coded on the RECBASE statements. This enhancement was provided by DB 15.1 PTF RO97700 (corrected by RO99352 module DBUT4PR)

From PTF RO97700: "...2. Allow either a single DBID or range of DBIDs to be specified for the DBID keyword on the RECBASE command when running the DBUTLTY RECOVERY function...."
