  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender users who use work files in memory
  and who use a rule on a card which references previous data of
  the card.
  
  Problem Description:
  When using work files in memory and a rule on an output card
  which references previously built data of the card, incorrect
  data could be generated. In the reported case, many NULL bytes
  were output instead of actual data.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• A logical error was present for one case in code which populates
  the metadata for a data page. The error caused the recorded end
  of data for the page to be too large. As a result, the page
  could be used erroneously. The error in the calculation of the
  end of the data for that case was corrected.
