Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 building and   *
  *                 running non-OO COBOL/Java interoperable      *
  *                 applications using Java 21 with z/OS         *
  *                 2.5 and above.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile abort from javac when run       *
  *                      from cjbuild, with message:             *
  *                                                              *
  *                      ./cobol.java:1: error: illegal          *
  *                      character: '\u0007'                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF                   *
  ****************************************************************
  The cjbuild utility was tagging generated Java files
  as IBM-1047 but also specifying '-encoding IBM-1047'
  on the javac compile command, a combination that does
  not work with z/OS 2.5 and above.
  

Problem conclusion

• cjbuild was updated to not specify the -encoding option
  of the javac command.
