Issue/Introduction

Browse or edit of a table results in an ISPF abend:

* ISPF Subtask abend *

ENVIRON ENBLDUMP=ON is active

IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT

 

SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=04E REASON CODE=00C90101

Environment

DB2 for z/OS and ISPF

Cause

As indicated by the abend message there is a problem with this table that causes DB2 to abend

SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=04E REASON CODE=00C90101

Because ISPF option  ENBLDUMP=ON is active the DB2 abend results in an ISPF subtask abend. 

 

Resolution

Issuing command 'ENVIRON ENBLDUMP OFF' cancels the effect of the ON status.

 

Instead of the ISPF abend you will now see this error:

DSNT408I SQLCODE = -438, ERROR: APPLICATION RAISED ERROR WITH

DIAGNOSTIC TEXT: PTABDBS: PTLBDBC subtask has abended: S0C4 

 

Additional Information

The default value for the ENBLDUMP parameter is ON.

You can also set ENBLDUMP OFF this way:

- Select ISPF option 0

- Select Environ (place cursor) then Environ settings.

- Remove the ‘/’ for ‘Enable a dump for a subtask abend’
