APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If customer downloads a host file in text mode on a 3270 session
  that host codepage is 1399 or 1390 unicode with JIS2004 support
  and PC codepage for 3270 file ransfer is specified as 1041,
  the last 3 bytes at the end of each ftp packet ( once per
  8000 byte by default settings) are lost in the transfered
  PC file.
  .
  This symptom does not occur if HCP is 930/939 with PC codepage
  1041.
  

Local fix

• use HCP 939/930 session if you do not need unicode nor
  surrogate pair support.
  use PC code page 1200 if you can accept that the transfered
  is written in unicode.
  

Problem summary

• User with CP1399-JIS2004 session found 3 bytes truncated after
  download file from 3270 host.
  

Problem conclusion

• The error is caused by incorrect length of read bytes was
  calculated when user select PC code page 1041 in JIS2004 support
  session.
  Keep original byte length calculation method for PC code page is
  not 1200(Unicode) in JIS2004 support.
  

Temporary fix

• yes
