Thank you for opening this enhancement request. The development team reviewed it and provided the following feedback for you:
With STACK YES specified on the COPYDDN TEMPLATE, the REORG utility can only ever allocate and open one image copy data set during its execution. Since LOB table space requires its own image copy data set, REORG can never run successfully with STACK YES in AUX YES scenario if the COPYDDN contains a &TS or &SN for inline copying both the base tsp and its LOB tsp. This is in addition to potential PBG growth where new PBG partition being grown means a new LOB table space is created that needs its own image copy data set. Instead of an abend, REORG can potentially terminate more gracefully with RC8, but ultimately the specification of the COPYDDN TEMPLATE must be changed by the end user in order for REORG AUX YES to run successfully.
Therefore, we will not be considering this request.
Please do continue to submit requests to us as your input is key in shaping the future features and functions of our offering.
Sincerely,
The Db2 z/OS development team
