When bulk loading fails in SAS/ACCESS^® Interface to DB2, the automatic macro variables SYSDBRC and SYSDBMSG are not populated. Depending on the code submitted, an error similar to the following might be generated:

ERROR: Bulk loader error: SQL3015N  An SQL error "-903" 
occurred during processing.

The macro variables are not populated because such SAS processes depend on a non-zero exit status for error conditions. Because this situation does not have a non-zero exit status, the process does not work properly.
