PI15182: DATA TRANSFORMATION WITH OPTRECS(I) FOR OPTIONAL "I" RECORDS REPRESENTS GDATE INCORRECTLY AS ASSOCIATED FOR INBOUND EDI DATA.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:  WDI 3.3.0 for z/OS with current maintenance.
  
  When executing inbound EDI using a DT map, the generated "I"
  records have a different format GDATE value for the inbound
  transformations as compared to that for the outbound generated
  functional Acknowledgment (FA).
  
  Example perform command:
  PERFORM TRANSFORM WHERE INFILE(EDI_IN) OUTFILE(ADF_OUT)
  SYNTAX(E) OPTRECS(I) FUNACKFILE(FACK)
  
  "Utility Commands and File Formats Reference", Table 87,
  Information record format specifies that there are 6 bytes
  to convey GDATE.
  
  GDATE is 6 bytes in col 251 and GTIME is 4 bytes in 257.
  For example, these values are output to FFSTRAK as follows:
  
  2013120741
  1404011826
  
  The first is the I record GDATE/GTIME from the 1st inbound
  group segment:
  GS*PO*TEST-GS-SENDER*TEST-GS-RECVR*20131217*0741*845*X!
  
  Note that the cc (century) is unexpected and dd (day of month)
  is truncated.
  
  The second GDATE value above represents that from the outbound
  FA. Its GDATE is correct given its 6 byte representation from
  the outbound group segment:
  GS*FA*TEST-GS-RECVR*TEST-GS-SENDER*20140401*1826*1728*X*004010!

Local fix

Problem summary

• When executing inbound EDI using a DT map, the generated "I"
  records have a different format GDATE value for the inbound
  transformations as compared to that for the outbound generated
  functional Acknowledgment (FA).
  

Problem conclusion

• The GS Date is 8 digits and the GDATE in the
  "I" record is 6 digits.  The GS Date found in the
  inbound data is being truncated when it is moved to
  the "I" record.
  

Temporary fix

Comments

• WDI 3.3 common to all platforms.
