Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The percent sign character "%" * * represented in EBCDIC by x'6C' is * * considered to be invalid if used as * * part of the DSNAME attribute of an RDO * * FILE definition. * **************************************************************** The percent sign character should be permitted if used as part of the DSNAME of an RDO FILE definition, but is being rejected as invalid, when using CICS transaction CEDA and the batch program DFHCSDUP.
