IT39409: IBM MQ shows incorrect status when channel status is displayed with CONNAME('IP(PORT)')

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When CONNAME('IP(PORT)') is used with the DISPLAY CHSTATUS
  command, an incorrect error "AMQ8420I: Channel Status not found"
  is returned instead of the actual status "STATUS(RUNNING)".
  For example:
       dis chs(STOR)
  AMQ8417I: Display Channel Status details.
     CHANNEL(STOR)                           CHLTYPE(SDR)
     CONNAME(127.0.0.1(3050))                CURRENT
     RQMNAME(RCVR)                           STATUS(RUNNING)
     SUBSTATE(MQGET)                         XMITQ(TRANSMIT)
  
  dis chs(STOR) CONNAME('127.0.0.1(3050)')
       7 : dis chs(STOR) CONNAME('127.0.0.1(3050)')
  AMQ8420I: Channel Status not found.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  IBM MQ users trying to display channel status with
  CONNAME('IP(PORT)').
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The 'conname' value provided under display channel status is
  space padded while the 'conname' value of channel under the
  channel status table is not space padded. The comparison of
  'conname' values will fail because of space padding. This
  failure in comparison is resulting in incorrect channel status
  display.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified to ignore space padding while
  comparing conname values of channel status command and channel
  status table entry.
