Issue/Introduction

When applying Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS PTF maintenance, the APPLY job fails with the following error messages:
GIM23911E ** LINK-EDIT PROCESSING for SYSMOD XXXXXXX FAILED FOR MODULE FLCOMCSM IN LMOD FLCOM IN THE SMPLTS LIBRARY.

Review of the APPLY output may also show message:
GIM43905I A POSSIBLE STORAGE SHORTAGE HAS OCCURRED FOR A LINK-EDIT SUBTASK. SMP/E WILL FREE AS MUCH STORAGE AS POSSIBLE AND RETRY THE FAILING SUBTASK FOR THE SMPLTS LIBRARY

Resolution

To resolve this issue, increase the storage available to the SMP/E job by updating the REGION parameter:

1. Modify the APPLY JCL.

2. Set the REGION= parameter to 0M on the JOB statement or the EXEC statement for the SMP/E step to allow the job to utilize the maximum available storage.
   - Example: //APPLY EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=0M

3. Rerun the APPLY job.
