PI84572: TRANSLATION ERROR ON USER GROUP NAME WHEN USING NON ALPHA NUMERIC CHARACTERS DGL3820A

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using non alpha numeric characters in a user group name
  in a non english language, getting a DGL3820A.   The translation
  of the characters from UNICODE to EBCDIC and back is not getting
  same characters back.  Getting a DGL3820A.  This started failing
  after the upgrade to CM 8.5.  As indicated, before CM 8.5, DB2
  did the code page conversion.   With CM 8.5, the library server
  is doing a call to __atoe to convert the value of the user group
  and that may be corrupting the values.  With this change, we
  will let DB2 do the translation to EBCDIC.
  

Local fix

• Do not use any none alpha numeric characters in a user group
  name.
