PM56858: Rational Developer for System z (RDz) : wrong character repre- -sentation after a search is performed against indexed data sets

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When doing an indexed search, some members may display a wrong
  representation of the $ character, instead it will be displayed
  as @.
  When trying to open a member with such character from the
  results list it will fail.
  The representation in the tree in remote systems is
  correct however, only the search result of the indexed search
  is wrong.
  

Local fix

• The Remote Search can be used.
  

Problem summary

• The Remote Index Search function was running using the code page
  that is defined in the rsed.envvars file (_RSE_HOST_CODEPAGE)
  regardless of whether a connection or the MVS subsystem has a
  different code page configured.  This can result MVS PDS names,
  and MVS PDS member names which contain character code points
  0x5B, 0x7B, ox7C being incorrectly represented in the Remote
  Index Search View.In addition, since the Remote Index also used
  the RDz host code page to generate indexes, if a z/OS UNIX
  directory or file was defined in the RSE view to be a different
  code page than the server, or if the MVS PDS or MVS PDS member
  was defined on the client to be in a different code page, the
  index would have been incorrectly generated, resulting in
  missing matches when searches are performed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Remote Index function will now respect client configurations
  for code pages, at the connection, and MVS subsystem level, as
  well as the  z/OS UNIX directory and file, MVS PDS, and MVS PDS
  member code page configurations when generating an index, in
  addition to searching an index. Host APAR PM66428 is also
  required to be applied for this fix to be fully functional.
