Error description

  • This is a PCOMM 6.0.10 problem of 3270 file transfer to HOST If
these conditions are true:

A UDC (User Defined Character a.k.a Gaiji)  is not converted
correctly when
.
- a PC file is encoded with Little Endian.
- a UDC is the last character in the PC file.
.
If a PC file is encoded with Big Endian or there is a character
after a UDC,  a UDC is converted correctly.

Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
* IBM Personal Communications users uploading PC Unicode file  *
* using 3270 file transfer.                                    *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
* When a PC unicode file is uploaded to host, where the last   *
* byte is DBCS leading byte, the last unicode is corrupted and *
* incorrectly translated to EBCDIC.                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem code was added through APAR IC66141 / IC70695 which
is a problem when a shift-JIS MBCS file is loaded to host. If
the last byte is DBCS-leading byte, the last byte is removed.
This logic must not be used when PC file is in unicode.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The PCSXFER.DLL was changed to not check DBCS-leading byte when
the PC file is in unicode.
