Hi Elardus, From what I read, I don't think the problem is specific to DB2, it is just that the problem manifested itself at the OP's site by trashing a bunch of DB2 datasets on the volumes that were destroyed.

I have looked up in Red Alerts and Notifications. Nothing there... weird, because this APAR is about 2 months old. On above website: "Local fix - contact DADSM L2 to recover volume." May work, but I rather also want to see Temporary fix too, but if F4 DSCB is overwritten, you're basically SOL. Ouch. Question: What was changed between 2.2 and 2.3 that results in this Program Error? >People, DO NOT UPGRADE TO z/OS 2.3 without OA55296 applies. We just had a few >dozen DB2 datasets destroyed. #zOS #mainframe What DB2 version? How is DB2 related with this problem? I see nothing about DB2 in that IBM's pages?
