IT37210: SQL1598 IS RETURNED WHEN USING DB2CONSV_T.LIC IN 11.1.4.5

Db2 Version 11.1 Mod 4 Fix Pack 7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is using a db2consv_t.lic file in 11.1 fro several
  years but in 11.1.4.5 he received error -1598
  He does not have the problem in 11.5.
  
  After investigation by L3 Rocket engineer, the root cause was
  identified.
  In the db2consv_t.lic in 11.1.4.5 we have extra line and ^M
  
  vi -b 111.db2consv_t.lic
  ^M
  [LicenseCertificate]^M
  CheckSum=C7E3B55AD3A54FAA15B02F4E451776B1^M
  TimeStamp=1463555591^M
  
  The problem is due to be the carriage return and we assume
  db2consv_t.lic provided by customer has windows carriage return
  format (new line)
  After converting it from Windows to Unix format the problem
  disappears.
  
  This file was working in previous 11.1 releases with no error
