Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jul 6, 2026

DB2 for Z/OS message DSNB555I reformated to be extermely easy for a DB2 Sysadmin or DBA to find and use in JESMSGLG

DSNB555I is verbose, making it dificult to process quickly.

The message for DSNB555I is split across 5 lines.
Being split across multiple lines that makes it difficult to process.
I have to EXCLUDE ALL LINES and then do 4 FINDS to get the TS, Pool, Old and New sizes.
This is not user friendly. It is verbose when not needed.
06.35.13 STC13088 DSNB555I +DB2P WLM RECOMMENDATION TO ADJUST SIZE FOR 098
098                  BUFFER POOL BP30 
098                                            HAS COMPLETED 
098                                           OLD SIZE = 128765 
098                                           NEW SIZE = 1139995 
 

This message is going to be reviewed by a DB2 System Admin or a DBA. This message is not a concern of application programmers.
A DB2 System Admin or DBA reviewing the message knows exactly the purpose of the message and why they are looking for them. 
This is all the message needs to be reduced to its major points as my example here. 

06.35.13 STC13088 DSNB555I +DB2P WLM BP30__ OLD=n,nnn,128,765 NEW=n,nn1,139,995 

I know what the DSNB555I messages is. 

If you would display the message with the number of buffers formatted with comma’s it is easier to assimilate.
Formatting the numbers Right Justified also makes it easier to read. 
Padding the buffer name 6 bytes makes all data aligned into standard columns.
Formatted as such, I can do one “EX ALL, F DSNB555I ALL “ and see all buffer pool changes quickly and easily. Sort the result by pool, etc…
