  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The IPB section of the IMS Connect      *
  *                      ICONRC Recorder trace record displays   *
  *                      input as EBCDIC even when the data is   *
  *                      ASCII when sent from the client.        *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  The IMS Connect Recorder trace section IPB of the ICONRC trace
  entry should display the data as received from the client and
  reflect what is passed to the user message exit READ routine.
  However, when the client sends the data in ASCII, the
  corresponding ICONRC recorder trace entry displays the data
  after it has been translated from ASCII to EBCDIC by the user
  message exit.
  

Problem conclusion

• GEN:
  KEYWORDS:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  Logic in part HWSSDRCV has been modified to log the IPB (input)
  portion of the ICONRC record prior to calling the user message
  exit. This change insures that the input data is captured in
  recorder buffer as is prior to any modification by the user
  message exit. Input that is sent as ASCII will appear as ASCII
  in the IPB section of the ICONRC recorder trace record.
