PQ50271: SJIS KANJI TRANSLATION TABLE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH JIS83.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• TCP/IP SJISKANJI translation table is based on JIS78 code.  By
  JIS83, some Kanji character's JIS codes were exchanged.  TCP/IP
  provided JIS78KJ and JIS83KJ, but no SJIS translation table
  based on JIS83.  Most PCs like OS/2 V4 and Windows 98 / NT use
  SJIS83 rather than SJIS78, so translation by MVS causes
  incorrect Kanji characters.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SJISKANJI translation table is built    *
  *                      using the CCSID 941 code page at the    *

  *                      systems such as Windows 98 / NT uses    *
  *                      the 1983 version of this code page.     *

  ****************************************************************
  The DBCS translation table for SJISKANJI, is shipped in the
  library 'tcpip.SEZAXLD2' member EZAKJBIN as executable object
  and the source in library 'tcpip.SEZADBCS' member EZAKJLAT.
  This table is based upon the 1978 version of the CCSID 941 code
  page.  This is okay for some of the older PC operating systems,
  but the newer systems use the 1983 version of this code page.
  So some the code points are translated incorrectly.

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• A new member of the source code library tcpip.SEZADBCX is being
  shipped with this APAR.  The member name is EZAKJ941.  This is
  an exact duplicate of EZAKJLAT except for the SJISKANJI tables.
  These tables SJISETA and SJISATE are now built at the 1995 level
  of CCSID 941.  To use this table instead of the default tables
  refer to the steps detailed in Appendix A. "Using Translation
  Tables" in the following manual for information on how to
  create and use new translation tables.
