IV79571: INCORRECT CONVERSION FOR BYTE '0X25' WITH CP500 CODE PAGE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace:
  .
  A round trip conversion (byte > char > byte) of '0x25' gets
  converted to '0x15' for Cp500 code page. With the system
  property '-Dibm.swapLF=true', the byte '0x15' gets converted to
  '0x25'.
  

Local fix

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 CP500 code page.
  

Problem conclusion

• JDK has been updated to implement 'ibm.swapLF' functionality in
  ByteToChar conversion of CP500 code page.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     6    SR16 FP20 (6.0.16.20)
     6 R1 SR8 FP20  (6.1.8.20)
  .
