APAR status

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z (RDz): RDZ client 9.5.1.1 causes
  RDz freeze when a JES-filter is defined with 9 characters long.
  Step to reproduce:
  - Define a JES-filter for a jobname with LRCUKRET* as criteria
  - 'Fetching children of LRCUKRET*: 0%' is shown in the bottom
  task bar and RDz client gets frozen.
  - rsecomm log shows the following error:
  INFO: JMConnection: Received: 101 Usage error.
  

Local fix

• Define a filter with 8 characters to match with the JOB Name
  limitation.
  

Problem summary

• When a user defines a filter that has more than 8 characters in
  a field, such a job name, the expansion of that filter causes
  the IDE to hang.
  

Problem conclusion

• Users are allowed to defined JES filters that have incorrect
  field lengths.  If a filter field has more than 8 characters,
  the query will hang.
