BL_DB2ERR=data-set-name

Details

The DSNUTILS procedure with DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG) allocates this option. This option must be the name of a nonexistent data set, except on a RESTART because it would already have been created. The LOAD utility allocates it as DISP=(MOD,CATLG,CATLG) on a RESTART. The default is a generated data set name, which appears in output that is written to the DB2PRINT= data set option location.
