IT13853: MQOUTPUT NODE ADDING NULL/GARBAGE TO THE FORMAT FIELD.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the message coming into the MQOutput node is using an MQ
  parser (for instance MQRFH2) and there is no MQMD in the
  logical tree then the MQMDs format field will contain the
  parser name with a null termination character and possible
  garbage characters. The format field should contain the parser
  name followed by spaces. This invalid format field can cause
  invalid messages to be created.
  

Local fix

• NA

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If the message coming into the MQOutput node is using an MQ
  parser (for instance MQRFH2) and there is no MQMD in the logical
  tree, the format field of the MQMD created by the MQOutput node
  will contain the parser name with a null termination character
  and possible garbage characters. The format field should contain
  the parser name followed by spaces. This invalid format field
  can cause invalid MQ messages to be created.
