Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Messages were copied by CSQUTIL COPY to a data set.
  
  But it failed to insert the correct data for empty messages.
  
  When running CSQUTIL LOAD QUEUE for such messages, it fails
  with message
  
  CSQU060E  Incorrect data length for message nnn bytes found, 0
  bytes expected

  ****************************************************************
  When CSQUTIL COPY is used to offload a copy of messages from a
  running queue manager to a dataset, a logic error when handling
  messages with no message data causes an expected record to be
  omitted in the dataset.
  This omission causes an error to be detected when LOAD is used
  to replay the messages from the dataset to a queue.
  
  Messages offloaded from an inactive queue manager with SCOPY are
  not affected.
  

Problem conclusion

• CSQUOFFQ is changed to correct the logic error, allowing 0
  length messages to be offloaded and successfully restored.
  
  In addition a debug option is added to allow LOAD processing to
  tolerate 0 length messages already offloaded and successfully
  replay them under IBM service direction.
