Issue/Introduction

Performing an upgrade from CA DB2 Tools r17 to r20 the Post-Install process for IDB2 encounters the failure:
WRNG.LEN.RECORD IDC3003I FUNCTION TERMINATED. CONDITION CODE IS 12 
When copying the r17 Profile dataset to the new r20 version. 

Environment

Release:
Component: IDB2

Cause

The r17 REQUESTS PDS library was incorrectly specified as the input file, and it should have been the r17 VSAM PROFILE dataset.

Resolution

Trying to REPRO a PDS to a VSAM file is not supported.  The r17 input file for this process must also be a VSAM file.
