IV52878: INCORRECT CONVERSION FOR BYTE '0X25' WITH CP1140 CODE PAGE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  A round trip conversion (byte > char > byte) of '0x25' gets
  converted to '0x15 for Cp1140 code page. With the system
  property '-Dibm.swapLF=true', the byte '0x15' gets converted to
  '0x25.
  

Local fix

• If the data needs to be processed as binary, use the byte stream
  as it as and avoid converting to string
  

Problem summary

• In zOS, both bytes 0x15 and 0x25 are valid for a newline
  character. For applications deployed on mainframe (zOS) systems
  which interact with non-EBCDIC platforms, the system property
  -Dibm.swapLF=true was implemented to toggle newline between 0x15
  and 0x25. This is to ensure the compatibility for newline
  character with ASCII platforms. The current problem
  happened because the 'ibm.swapLF' implementation is missing in
  ByteToChar side of CP1140 code page.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR16
  6.0.1 SR8
  7.0.0 SR7
  7.1.0 SR1
  .
  The JDK has been updated to implement 'ibm.swapLF'
  functionality in ByteToChar conversion of CP1140 code page.
