Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This problem affects users who make use of the restart option
  of dsjob which is meant to run the job again with the
  parameters obtained from the checkpoint record.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When reading the checkpoint record it was not being processed
  to unescape certain characters which had been escaped when
  the record was written out. This leads to a corruption of the
  first parameter and the defaulting of subsequent one.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  The only way to resolve the problem is to apply the patch.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The code API code used by dsjob was modified to unescape the
  values it had read from the checkpoint record. This brought this
   code path in line with the checkpoint handling code which had
  previously been modified.
  

Temporary fix

• No temporary fix
