This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

System Environment
z/OS V2.2, Db2z V10
SWA=ABOVE
Batch JOB Region SIZE = 0M
Use Extended TIOT
We use Db2z V10(NFM) and try to REORG TABLESPACE, but REORG JOB is abend with S878.
The table have 372 partitions each partition have 8 auxiliary tables for LOB data.
In Db2z V10, REORG TABLESPACE utility is changed.
"If you specify SHRLEVEL REFERENCE or
CHANGE, you must also specify LOG NO and take an inline image copy."
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPEK_10.0.0/ugref/src/tpc/db2z_reorglobtablespaces.html
When we run REORG TABLESPACE with all partitions, 2977 (1 + 372 x 8) sequential datasets are created for inline image copy dataset.
But z/OS can't allocate these dataset, because the lack of User Region of 16MB bellow.
Each BSAM DECB/DCBE/IOB (IGGSAQS/IGGSAQE) need 4KB area. For all datasets, we need 11(MB) (2977 datasets x 4KB) in 16MB bellow. So, we encounter S878 abend.
We use SMS Storage Group for inline image copy dataset. Because the table size is about 570GB, this is bigger than public volumes in VATLSTxx.
We avoid the x37 abend , use SMS Storage Group.
Then , inline image copy dataset is SMS managed dataset, and have a extended format.
In some case, we have to run REORG TABLESPACE for all partitions for TABLESPACE attribute change.
In the future, we have more big data on z/OS, Db2z.
Our request is bellow.
The SAQ control block which is an internal SAM control block used when processing Striped Data Sets for queueing requests should be changed to reside above 16MB.
