Verification of CONTOKEN in SYSPACKAGE DBRMLIB LOADLIB

 

Verification of Consistency token in SYSPACKAGE, DBRMLIB and LOADLIB.
 
When a Job abends at a program due to bind error with SQL code of -805 or -818 then generally there is issue with consistency token (often referred as CONTOKEN). These kind of abends can be easily fixed if we can find where the CONTOKEN mismatch occurs.
 
 
 
STEP1:- CONTOKEN in Package
 
RUN the following query 
 
SELECT NAME, CONTOKEN, COLLID, PDSNAME FROM SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE WHERE NAME='MODULE'
AND COLLID='COLLID'
 
Provide the name of the module in "NAME" and Collection name in "COLLID"
 
 
In the Query output dataset locate the CONTOKEN value and view it in HEX mode (by issuing HEX ON command)
 
CONTOKEN in SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE TABLE
 
The contoken in the above image is 
 
1DE6102A
8A19F405
 
 
which is 
 
18DAE1691F0420A5
 
 
 
STEP2:- CONTOKEN in DBRMLIB
 
The "PDSNAME" field above will indicate the DBRMLIB used for binding the module.
 
Goto the DBRMLIB
 
Open the DBRM for the above module, it will have the same name as the module name.
 
Search for the contoken in hex mode by entering the following command
 
F X'18DAE1691F0420A5
 
CONTOKEN IN DBRM IN DBRMLIB
 
 
(The CONTOKEN in the DBRM is generally at the 25th position as shown in the figure above)
 
 
Note:- 
 
If the CONTOKEN in Step1 and Step2 does not match then Run the Bind job to fix the
inconsistency. Bind Job is going 
to update the CONTOKEN in the SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE Table.
 
 
STEP3:- CONTOKEN in loadlib
 
-Since the date and time part of the CONTOKEN are swapped in loadlib, you will have to 
split the CONTOKEN found in SYSPACKAGE table in two halves of 8 chars each and then swap their positions.
 
First Half
18DAE169
 
Second Half
1F0420A5
 
Swapping positions and joining them back will result in the CONTOKEN
 
1F0420A518DAE169
 
 
Go to the load library where the load to be checked is present.
 
 
CONTOKEN in Composite load of the link
 
 
Open the composite load and 
 
search for the reversed CONTOKEN in hex mode in the composite load 
 
 
F X'1F0420A518DAE169'
 
CONTOKEN in load object in LOADLIB
 
 
Note:-
If its found, no problem and if not then you need to process the link to fix the issue.
 
 
CONTOKEN in load of the program
 
Open the load object for the program, it generally has the same name as the module name.
 
 
Now search for the reversed CONTOKEN in hex mode in the load of the program using command
 
F X'1F0420A518DAE169'
 
 
Note:- If the CONTOKEN is found then its fine and if not then you will need to recompile and also relink(if
composite load also doesnt has this) to fix the issue.
