PM50908: MAP MAY CREATE ZERO BYTE OUTPUT FILE DUE TO NOT ENOUGH MEMORY BUT DOES NOT REPORT A RETURN CODE ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running a map in the Design Studio with a large input
  file, the map may complete with return code 0 but the output
  file is created with a size of 0 bytes.
  
  If the map is executed using Command Server, the map completes
  with return code of 0 and the output file is created correctly.

  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender customers running a map that
  fails to create output due to not enough memory condition
  
  Problem Description:
  Map completes successfully but output for one of the cards was
  not generated when it should fail with "Not enough memory to
  execute the map" error if the memory allocation failed for the
  large output being generated.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a problem with Core Engine where it now reports "Not
  enough memory to execute map" error instead of reporting as
  "Map completed successfully" when memory allocation failed
  during ICU conversion from one character set to another during
  output generation.
