IT32933: SHIFT_JIS CHARACTERS MIGHT NOT BE PARSED IN DFDL.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of IBM Integration Bus v10 or App Connect Enterprise v11
  who use DFDL schemas with Shift_JIS encoded messages
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">The Shift_JIS
  codepage uses special 'shift' characters followed by another
  character to represent different Japanese characters. Some of
  the second characters used for this already have values assigned
  and if one of those characters, such as '|' was used as a
  separator in a schema then a parse would fail as the DFDL parser
  would treat the '|' as a separator and fail trying to parse the
  now-single 'shift' character</span>
  

Problem conclusion

• <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">The DFDL
  parser was changed so if the encoding is Shift_JIS and it finds
  a separator it now checks that the previous character is not a
  special 'shift' character.</span>
