IC93075: SWIFT ISSUE ON BLOCK 4 OF MT WHEN LINE BEGINS BY COLON.

patch_SI_5020500

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem on the DeEnvelope component when this is processing MT
  094.
  
  The problem is on the block 4 of the MT when a line of this
  block 4 begins with the character ":"
  
  The block S is stored in block 4, while it is a separate block.
  
  If they modify the MT, by replacing the character ":" by ".",
  then there is no cutting problem.
  
  A case was opened with SWIFT by the Supervion Team. The
  answer from SWIFT is the following:
  
  "We have verified internally and can confirm that the current
  behaviour is correct."
  
  "The information in the MT Usage Guidelines only applies to MT
  Categories 1-9 & n99 messages.
  This is also specified in chapter 1 Standards MT Volumes
  Description.
  System messages therefore do not (have to) adhere to the MT
  Usage Guidelines.
  The System Message Handbook specifies the following format for
  field 312:
  <X>1-65
  [<CrLf><X>1-65] 0-n
  By this definition, inserting a starting character of " : " (or
  even a
  " - ") is perfectly acceptable (since both are part of the
  X-Character
  set)
  

Local fix

• Act manually to change colon ":" to dot ".".
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  All customers who use Standards Map Editor and translator
  Problem Description:
  SWIFT issue on block 4 of MT when line begins by ":"
  Platforms Affected:
  All supported SI platforms
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  The code is truncating the block of data because it currently
  interprets the CRLF plus the colon as the start of a new SWIFT
  field.
  MT094 is a system message and in system messages the start of a
  new field is simply the { character, not CRLF plus a colon.
