Error description
If a Telnet USS table is coded such that a system symbolic occupies the very last bytes of the table and the symbolic is not bounded by an optional delimiter, a loop results in module EZBTPUSW.
Local fix
Do one of the following: 1) Remove the system symbolic from the end of the USS table. 2) Add a period as an ending delimiter to the symbol. 3) Add a blank after the symbol.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of the IBM Communications Server * * for z/OS Version 2 Release 1 IP: Telnet * * services using system symbolics in a USS * * message. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * A loop can occur in EZBTPUSW when * * processing a USSMSG with system * * symbolics in the USSMSG. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply fix. * **************************************************************** The problem may be summarized as follows: 1. A customer's Telnet USS table (such as EZBTPUST) was coded with system symbolics in it such that a system symbolic occupied the very last bytes of a USSMSG. 2. The system symbolic was not followed by the optional ending delimiter - a period. 3. The substituted value for the symbolic name was shorter than the symbolic name. 4. A loop occurred in EZBTPUSW when trying to send this USSMSG. +-------------------------------------------------------------+ + Please check our Communications Server for OS/390 homepages + + for common networking tips and fixes.
