APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • With IZ92424 or an equivalent installed :
    LANG=en_US ls -l gives :
    total 0
    ...snip...
    LANG=C ls -l gives :
    total 888
    ...snip...
    IZ92424 changed the builtin message to %llu but the
    message catalog was not changed.
    This also applies  to other languages.
    

Local fix

  • use C language to use builtin message.
    If not possible remove the message catalog so that
    builtin
    is used by ls instead :
    mv /usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG/ls.cat
    /usr/lib/nls/msg/$LANG/ls.cat.save
    

Problem summary

  • With IZ92424 equivalent installed:-
    LANG=en_US ls -l gives :
    total 0
    ...
    LANG=C ls -l gives :
    total 888
    ...
    

Problem conclusion

  • Modify message catalog for ls command.
