make OSREQ (=OAM) calls work in Db2 STORED PROCEDURES which have a PACKAGE PATH

OSREQ=OAM calls are officially supported to be done in Db2 Stored Procedures. But this does not work, if the Db2 Stored Procedure is defined with a "PACKAGE PATH". I think this is, because OAM functions operate with and set different COLLECTIONS (CBRHTBSV, GROUPxx) but an existing PACKAGE PATH takes precedence over PACKAGESETS; therefore a changed PACKAGESET is ignored and leads to a -805 or similar. Currently, the approach to sucessfully call OSREQ (OAM) in Storded procedures demands OAM Packages to be bound in application collections (or reset the PACKAGESET etc.). If OSREQ/OAM would work in Db2 Stored Procedures with PACKAGE PATH, the Db2 Stored Procedure could be defined with a entire but segregated, correct and least scope of collection, etc. set of package-collections. I'm not sure, whether the current status comes down to a software defect or is lack of functionality; for the latter I'd like to submit it as idea here.

    Dear Josef,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request. We reviewed this requirement and asked for additional information in April, but have not yet received an update. Consequently, for now we are moving this idea to Not under consideration.

    Even though the ideas is not under consideratione, Aha! still allows updates and voting. We do hope you can provide the information needed so that we can revisit this request.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit more ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Team

    Hello Josef, The Db2 for z/OS team has reviewed this enhancement request and would like to know you can update this idea with an example of a stored procedure that makes the OAM calls, how the CURRENT PACKAGESET is set (before calling the stored proc or inside the stored proc itself), and which collection ID is the OAM package is bound with. Also include the DDL statement for that stored procedure with the PACKAGE PATH keyword and its value.

    PACKAGE PATH (or CURRENT PACKAGE PATH) is higher than CURRENT PACKAGESET in precedence rule. So PACKAGE PATH, when specified for a stored proc, will be used to search for packages in the stored procedure's execution. Can you include the the collection IDs (CBRHTBSV, GROUPxx) in the stored procedure's PACKAGE PATH as well?

    Thank you,

    The Db2 for z/OS team
