IT17558: CreateDate within a queue statistics PCF messages has wrong day of month and has two unwanted characters at the end

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using TEXT or BINARY file to message transfer, the
  destination agent is expected to put a zero byte message to the
  destination queue if the transfer fails for some reason. If
  BINARY transfer mode is used, a zero byte message gets put into
  the destination queue to indicate a failed transfer however this
  does not happen if TEXT transfer mode is used.
  
  Sequence of the event:
  	Start file to message transfer
  	Agent is stopped while transfer is in progress
  	Restart sending agent
  	Transfer fails unexpectedly (e.g missing source file).
  	If the transfer is a binary transfer then a blank message
  is written to the destination queue
  	If the transfer is a text transfer then no blank message is
  written to the destination queue

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When using File to Message conversion with transfer mode as
  either TEXT or BINARY, the destination agent was expected to put
  a zero byte message to the destination queue if the transfer
  failed for some reason. If BINARY transfer mode was used, a zero
  byte message was put to the destination queue to indicate a
  failed transfer - however this did not happen if TEXT transfer
  mode was used due to a missing checkpoint .
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition product, and the MQ
  Managed File Transfer component, have been updated such that a
  checkpoint is always added for both text and binary file to
  message transfers. This means that that if the transfer fails
  unexpectedly, the destination agent puts a zero byte message to
  the destination queue to indicate a failed transfer.
