PH58443: +CSQX645E CSQXRESP CERTIFICATE MQ MISSING FOR CHANNEL XXXX DISPLAYED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Message:   +CSQX645E CSQXRESP Certificate MQ missing for
  channel xxxx displayed in error, as the certificate is actually
  there in good form.
  .
  The issue relates to HOW the CERTLABL parm is set.
  If CERTLABL is set at the Channel level, everything works
  perfectly.
  If CERTLABL is set at the QMGR level, the CSQX645E error is
  posted incorrectly.
  .
  This occurs because the CERTLABL contains SPACES/BLANKS (
  X'40)', even though the documentation states that BLANKS are
  allowed post MQ V9.1
  
  Either the documentation needs to be corrected to state that
  BLANKS are invalid in the CERTLABL parm, or the MQ code needs
  to be modified to actually allow Blanks/Spaces in the CERTLABL
  in ALL cases ( Channel Level, as well as QMGR level ).
  

Local fix

• Define the CERTLABL in the CHANNEL definition, to allow BLANKS
  to succeed

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message CSQX645E would be issued when   *
  *                      specifying a certificate label          *
  *                      containing spaces in the queue manager  *
  *                      CERTLABL attribute.                     *

  *                      CSQX645E would display a truncated      *
  *                      certificate label where only characters *
  *                      up to the first space are displayed.    *
  ****************************************************************
  Certificate label length was incorrectly calculated by using the
  position of the first space character in the string.
  Additionally, space characters were translated into nulls.
  
  This resulted in certificate labels containing spaces to be
  truncated at the first space, resulting in CSQX645E messages to
  be issued.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected to allow for spaces in the Queue
  Managers CERTLABL field.
