IT40141: NATIVE PGP DECRYPTION OF FILE WITH .ASC FILE EXTENSION ADDS PERIOD TO END OF DECRYPTED FILE NAME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using Native PGP in SFG to decrypt files, if the file
  extension of the file being decrypted is either .pgp or .gpg,
  then the name showing for the decrypted file in the FG_0605
  event code ends with just a file extension, but if the file
  extension of the file being decrypted is .asc, then the name
  showing for the decrypted file in the FG_0605 event code has an
  extra period at the end of the file name. This is independent of
  whether or not the ASCII Armor check box is checked for the
  original consumer, meaning the consumer in the route that
  encrypted the file.
  
  Examples:
  name of encrypted file is file.txt.pgp --> FG_0605 event code
  reads Extracted PGP Layer from file 'file.txt'.
  name of encrypted file is file.txt.gpg --> FG_0605 event code
  reads Extracted PGP Layer from file 'file.txt'.
  name of encrypted file is file.txt.asc --> FG_0605 event code
  reads Extracted PGP Layer from file 'file.txt.'. [Note trailing
  period after "txt"]
