PI16157: DO NOT ISSUE THE DSQ10344 MESSAGE FOR CODEPAGE 13124

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• QMF issues the DSQ10344 warning message for codepage 13124, but
  because GDDM does not have a corresponding APPCPG for 13124, the
  user cannot do anything to eliminate the message.
  
  DSQ10344 MSGDSQ10344 CCSID 13124
  

Local fix

• The DSQ10344 is a warning message.
  QMF continues processing so the message can be ignored.

  *                      for z/OS data bases with certain CCSIDS *
  *                      may never be able to eliminate the QMF  *

  *                      this database (XXX).                    *

  ****************************************************************
  As documented in QMF APAR PM78500, during QMF initialization,
  QMF will compare the value of the GDDM APPCPG value to the DB2
  for z/OS CURRENT APPLICATION ENCODING SCHEME special register.
  If there is no match, QMF then compares the GDDM APPCPG to
  the first token (SBCS value) of the SYSIBM.SYSTEM_EBCDIC_CCSID
  session variable. If neither of those checks are a match, QMF
  would then issue the warning message DSQ10344 to the user.
  *
  On some systems, users have DB2 CCSIDS defined that do not
  have matching GDDM APPCPG values. This means that there will
  never be a match and the DSQ10344 message will always be
  issued giving the user no way to eliminate the message. As
  this is annoying and not tolerable, if QMF encounters a
  CCSID that can never be matched to a supplied GDDM APPCPG
  value, QMF will bypass checking and not issue the DSQ10344
  warning. Example CCSIDs are 420, 13124, 5123 and 836.
  

Problem conclusion

• QMF initialization has been modified to bypass DSQ10344 GDDM
  APPCPG to DB2 z/OS CCSID checking if it is found that the
  DB2 z/OS CCSID can never be matched to a GDDM APPCPG
  setting. Users in this situation should use GDDM APPCPG 351,
  the default GDDM application codepage.
