Error description

• TCP/IP V3.1 CANNOT TRANSLATE CORRCTLY JISCII (KANA) TO EBCDIC
  WITH SJISKANJI OPTION USING MODIFIED TCPKJBIN TABLE FOR KANA.
   THIS PROBLEM OCCURRES WHEN TCP/IP V3.1 ATTEMPTES TO TRANSLATE
  SBCS (JAPANESE KANA) FROM RS/6000 (WORK STATION) TO EBCDIC WITH
  MODIFIED TCPKJBIN. IT IS MODIFIED JISCII TO EBCDIC FOR KANA.
   TCP/IP V3.1 ADDES SOSI(X'0E',X'0F') SBCS (KANA) AND TRANSLATES
  SBCS TO X'FFFFFFFF'. X'FF' IS EVEN BYTES OFEN.
   THIS PROBLEM OCCURRES IN V3.1 BECAUSE TCP/IP V3.1 HAS CHANGED
  THE WAY OF TRANSLATION MANNER FROM V2.2.1.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Pascal FTP users of SJISKANJI for kana data. *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: For transfers of SJISKANJI (TYPE B 1)   *
  *                      data to the MVS host, kana characters   *
  *                      will be stored as x'0EFF..FF0F'.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  For SJISKANJI (TYPE B 1) ascii-to-ebcdic translation,
  all values from x'81' through x'FC' were interpreted as 1st
  byte of double byte, so the single-byte kana characters from
  x'A0' through x'DF' wre not recognized as SBCS.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module EZAJTCV (alias CMDBCSCV) has been modified to recognize
  the two discontigous ranges for ascii double byte when the
  transfer type is SJISKANJI.
