options itemerror

I'd like to see any error handled by the itemerror parm of the options utility. Currently it only handles those errors that cause a RC8. If it is an unavailable resource or something else that causes an abend the step will abend rather than processing the next item in the list..

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. Db2 for z/OS development has reviewed it. Unfortunately there are abend circumstances in which the utility does not regain control, thereby preventing the OPTIONS statement from taking full effect. On that basis there are no plans to provide this capability.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Development

    We have reorg jobs ending in error while processing objects in LISTDEF and stop further processing inspite of specifying

    OPTIONS EVENT(ITEMERROR,SKIP

    DSNU1033I 017 15:25:15.73 DSNUGULM - PROCESSING LIST ITEM: TABLESPACE DSN04060 DSNU124I -TRM1 017 15:25:15.73 DSNURFIT - AUX YES SPECIFICATION IS IGNORED AND EXECUTION DSNT500I 017 15:41:10.04 DSNUGBAC - RESOURCE UNAVAILABLE REASON 00C900BA TYPE 00002006 NAME DSN04060.FWORKSOF.00000000 DSNU017I 017 15:41:10.04 DSNUGBAC - UTILITY DATA BASE SERVICES MEMORY EXECUTITION ABENDED, REASON=X'00E40009'

    CAUSE=X'00C900BA' 00C900BA Explanation: A request for a drain lock for the resource identified by NAME in messages DSNT500I and DSNT501I could not be granted. The request waited for a period longer than the maximum specified by the installation.

    We'd like to have the reorg job ignore this error and continue processing next items in LISTDEF instead of job stopping the reorg when we use OPTIONS EVENT(ITEMERROR,SKIP) in the reorg.
