PQ50866: EZA2603E MESSAGE SHOULD NOT BE ISSUED WITH A RETURN CODE.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• PQ37932 changed FTP such that when message EZA2603E was issued,
  a non-zero return code would be generated. This allowed
  automated FTP transfers to reflect that an error had occurred.
  However, PQ37932 also caused the return code to be displayed
  with the EZA2603E message, which was not intended.  The EZA2603E
  message should still read only
         "EZA2603E Error sending the file".

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the Communications Server       *
  *                 for OS/390 Release 5, 6, 7, 8 & 10 IP        *
  *                 and z/OS Version 1 Release 2 : FTP           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: MESSAGE EZA2603E contains the return    *
  *                      code and it should not. The message     *
  *                      should read "EZA2603E Error sending the *
  *                      file".                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The return code in "EZA2603E Error sending the file (rc=%d)\n)"
  should be removed. The return code is internal to FTP and does
  not have any meaning to the user. Other symptoms have been
  displayed which correctly describe the error.
