IC59671: MQ FTE IS NOTE HANDLIG CORRECTLY THE STANDARD OUTPUT STREAM WHEN DOUBLE BYTE CHARACTER SETS ARE USED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using MQFTE exit function, to output Japanese character in
  agent's log file under
  ${MQFTE_ROOT}/<FTE_name>/agents/<agent_name>/logs
  .
  However, the Japanese characters are not displayed correctly.
  .
  To recreate the scenario, send the output to the log file by
  adding System.out.println method in exit:
   "System.out.println("xxxxxx");"
                        ^^^^^^ <= DBCS (Japanese) character.
  .
  In the log file, the output character is garbaged.
  Customer used editbin to check hex code.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• SUMMARY:
  Double byte characters destined for the File Transfer Edition
  event log were treated as single byte chracters. The resultant
  output in the event log showed twice the number of characters
  expected with the original naming lost
  

Problem conclusion

• Program corrected to treat log messages as characters instead of
  bytes.
  

Temporary fix

• IFIX available
