Re: Finding z/OS 2.1 fixes
Thanks! This was a issue with Zara and they provided a PTF. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Attila Fogarasi Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2019 8:38 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Finding z/OS 2.1 fixes *** NOTE: This email is from an external source: Be cautious *** - Abend0B0 is rarely a z/OS defect, more likely an error in the program requesting a SWA service.

Re: Finding z/OS 2.1 fixes
If you are supported for DB2 V12 - then open the issue to them and see if they can find any fixes for your z/OS System.

Re: Finding z/OS 2.1 fixes
IBM support portal should have all of the info needed. https://www.ibm.com/support/home/ "Unsupported" means IBM does not want to help you with the diagnosis. You should be able to download the fixes as needed.
