APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users using MQ trace command strmqtrc with -c option to enable
  trace to end automatically.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  It is intended that all probe IDs used by MQ should be 8
  characters in length. Some of the MQ .NET methods incorrectly
  produced Failure Data Capture (FDC) records with probe IDs which
  were 9 characters long. Attempting to filter on these 9
  character probe IDs caused strmqtrc to fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is fixed by ensuring the length of the probe IDs
  generated by the MQ .NET FDC routines is always 8 characters.
