DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

V9.7 Fixpak 3 contains a fix for apar IC67240 
As part of the fix, debug code was added but that may get 
triggered in normal circumstances 
( e.g. when a connection has more than 100 open cursors ) which 
may lead to excessive unnecessary error reporting in the 
db2diag.log. 
 
The messages will start with "WARNING: DB2 MAY BE LOOPING IN 
LOOKUP STATMENT." 
 
 
for example the following shell script may trigger the problem 
from CLP : 
 
i=200 
while [ $i -gt 100 ] 
do 
   db2 +c "declare c$i cursor for  values ( $i )" 
   db2 +c "open c$i" 
   i=`expr $i - 1` 
done 
while [ $i -gt 0 ] 
do 
    db2 +c "declare c$i cursor with hold for  values ( $i )" 
    db2 +c "open c$i" 
    i=`expr $i - 1` 
done
