Error description
The error MQRC_RES_OBJECT_STRING_ERROR is returned when attempting to run COBOL Publisher/Subscriber applications.
Local fix
set MQSD-RESOBJECTSTRING-VSBUFSIZE field to a suitable value, ie the size (number of bytes) of the buffer available - often the same as MQSD-RESOBJECTSTRING-VSLENGTH.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere MQ users running COBOL applications using new V7 APIs. Platforms affected: All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The MQSD-RESOBJECTSTRING-VSBUFSIZE field is initialized in its definition with value MQVS-USE-VSLENGTH (-1). If the application does not explicitly modify this value, MQ reports a MQRC_RES_OBJECT_STRING_ERROR; as the acceptable value should be greater than or equal to zero. The constant MQVS-USE- VSLENGTH should not have been provided in the copy books.
Problem conclusion
Modifications are made to the corresponding copy books to remove constant MQVS-USE-VSLENGTH and to initialize the MQSD- RESOBJECTSTRING-VSBUFSIZE and similar values to zero. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.0.2 -------- -------------------- Windows U200302 AIX U822354 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U822349 HP-UX (Itanium) U822351 Solaris (SPARC) U822353 Solaris (x86-64) U822394 iSeries tbc Linux (x86) U822348 Linux (x86-64) U822393 Linux (zSeries) U822352 Linux (Power) U822350 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'Websphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'Websphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
