DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

Calling UTL_FILE.FCOPY may cause the instance trap. On Windows 
the trap file may not contain any stack trace. The db2trc shows 
sqleml_getSessionState is called before getting the exception. 
On AIX the trap file shows following stack trace:

Here is the sample procedure. Running "call proc1()" will cause 
the instance crash. 
 
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc1() 
BEGIN 
  CALL UTL_DIR.CREATE_DIRECTORY('dir', 'C:\TMP\'); 
  CALL UTL_FILE.FCOPY('dir', 'tmpfile.txt', 'dir', 
'tmpcopy_null.txt', NULL, NULL); 
END@

To workaround the problem you just call some other UTL_FILE 
function(except for put_line routine or new_line routine as they 
have the same issue as FCOPY) one time during the instance is up 
before calling UTL_FILE.FCOPY(). For example, you just call 
UTL_FILE.FOPEN() before calling FCOPY, and then remember to 
CLOSE the file. 
 
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc1() 
BEGIN 
  DECLARE  fhandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; 
  CALL UTL_DIR.CREATE_DIRECTORY('dir', '/work/akikoba/66344'); 
  set fhandle = UTL_FILE.FOPEN('dir', 'tmpfile.txt', 'w') 
  CALL UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fhandle); 
  CALL UTL_FILE.FCOPY('dir', 'tmpfile.txt', 'dir', 
'tmpcopy_null.txt', NULL, NULL); 
END@
