Issue/Introduction

The Database Management Post Install task Bind ssid0002 job failed with a U0999 abend:

What is the meaning of this U0999 abend and how it can be corrected.

Resolution

Typically the U0999 abend is caused by a wrong allocation of the ISPF data sets.
  
Check the ISPFxx member in hlq.CDBAPARM library and be sure the ISPF libraries are the right ones for the z/OS version. 
 

Then generate the Bind ssid0002 JCL again to pick up the ISFP libraries from the ISPFxx member and double check the ISPF libraries in the ssid0002 JCL.
