• Fix Category: CA.TargetSystem-RequiredService.DB2.V13

   All jobs currently using DB2 require both SDSNLOAD and SDSNEXIT to be    
   part of the STEPLIB and/or JOBLIB if they are not in the LINKLIST.       
  
   Creating multiple tables in a tablespace will cause a SQLCODE -646       
   on the second create table.                                              
  
   ReBIND packages with the APPLCOMPAT(V12R1M503) parameter and it will     
   allow mutliple tables in a tablespace.
