Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  Users of Oracle Connector jobs where there is a BINARY / RAW
  column combined with either some type of string (eg, VARCHAR) or
  DECIMAL column in the same record could encounter the glibc.
  
  Problem Description:
  When running an Oracle Connector job where there is (a) a BINARY
  column and (b) either a VARCHAR column (a string type) or a
  DECIMAL column, a shared buffer is accidently deleted by the
  Connector Framework due to an uninitialized variable.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR patch contains the change where Oracle Connector
  initializes the variable that tells the Connector Framework not
  to delete the buffer.
  

Temporary fix
