Problem:

If using the Host Compatibility Option (HCO) with IBM DB2 v9.1 or later, you may experience the following issues when executing the HCO command-line utilities, using cobmfhco :

RTS114 against 'hcgetenv'

SQL1083N The database cannot be created because the database description block

cannot be processed, reason code = "6".

Resolution:

These are due to known issues with IBM DB2 software. At this time, no known workarounds are available. You will experience similar issues executing the IBM COBOL samples dbconf and dbmconf.

If you encounter such errors, Micro Focus recommends that you contact IBM in the first instance.

This document will be updated once we have received further information from IBM.
