DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70656 Status: Closed

DB2DART FAILS WHEN TRYING TO EXPAND COMPRESSED RECORDS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
db2dart fails when used to dump the contents of a compressed 
table. This problem is due uniquely to how dart initiates the 
expansion of records. db2dart will output an "Error expanding 
row." when this problem occurs. The amount of usable data 
reported by dart will also be greatly diminished.
Problem Summary:
**************************************************************** 
* USERS AFFECTED:                                              * 
* All DB2 users prior to DB2 9.7 FP3                           * 
**************************************************************** 
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* Problem arises when db2dart tries to uncompress a compressed * 
* record as part of data dumping.  db2dart will output an      * 
* "Error expanding row." when this problem occurs. The amount  * 
* of usable data reported by dart will also be greatly         * 
* diminished.  The error will also be caught in db2diag.log,   * 
* where "sqldExpandRec" will produce an error, stating there   * 
* was a "Failure expanding record".                            * 
*                                                              * 
* Example below, when "db2dart /DD" command is given. First is * 
* the output from the command, then the db2diag.log output.    * 
*                                                              *
