APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Adding a custom mapping rule to the model object in Synergy 7.2
  with the %is_text function, which is supposed to detect 8-bit
  ascii characters in the source contents of a file being brought
  in Synergy control, does not work. It will not identify files
  having such characters, and can result in files having binary
  content being migrated into Synergy with the 'ascii' type
  definition.
