Avoid SQLCODE -803 för utilities history

When HPU inserts into SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS for utilities history it sometimes gets an sqlcode -803 (duplicate). That is accepted by HPU and it returns this message

INZU592I ERROR DURING UTILITY HISTORY COLLECTION, SQL ERROR PREVENTED TO
INSERT INTO SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS.
UTILITY HISTORY COLLECTION FOR THIS STEP IS SWITCHED OFF

I suggest that the INSERT statement is replaced by a MERGE statement with only a WHEN NOT MATCHED. That way the row will be inserted when there is no duplicate row and just ignored when there is one.

The message above is not interesting and we will not have to explain this to everyone seeing the -803 and the message.

    Hi Martin,

    The avoidance is no needed as this SQLCODE no longer occurs. It was the symptom of a bug fixed in APAR PH59766 / PTF UI96298.
