Issue/Introduction

Trying to migrate from FDS to FDB architecture, both DBINI650 and DBCONVRT jobs could abend  S378-1C with the following BINDER errors:

ADSDC022 4336 ERROR OCCURRED UPDATING SYSLIB, FUNCTION: SAVEW RC= 4 RSN= -2,097,150,960

How to bypass this problem. 

Environment

Release :  

Component : Disk Backup and Restore 

Resolution

This happens if there is a specific IBM BINDER Usermod active which prevents from managing the lkedit Option FILL , which generates the above BINDER errors in both DBINI650 and DBCONVRT.

Specifying in the BINDER step of both jobs a //STEPLIB DD that does't have that Usermod applied, allows to bypass the error and to end both executions successfully
