APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
App Connect Enterprise uses ICU to format dates and times according to the Unicode CLDR definitions. In newer ICU versions the abbreviation for September in the en_GB and en_AU locales was changed to 'Sept' from 'Sep'. The additional length of this string can cause compatibility problems for applications expecting a 3 digit abbreviation. This APAR introduces the environment variable MQSI_LOCALE_COMPATIBILITY, when set to the value 1 this causes App Connect Enterprise to replace the String 'Sep' with 'Sept' when formatting abbreviated dates.
