IT17693: USING A MNEMONIC TO REPRESENT A SPACE (BLANK) IN THE USERNAME PASSED TO MQSISETDBPARMS FAILS TO CONVERT SUCCESSFULLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The z/OS JCL commands allow values to be specified which contain
  spaces by using XML mnemonics which are then converted into the
  real character when the value is used. The mqsisetdbparms
  command is not doing this for the username property and so the
  mnemonic is being written into the registry value for the
  username which is then used when the userid is later retrieved
  leading to errors.
  The following command should convert the mnemonic   into a
  space before storing the username value:
  
    mqsisetdbparms INODE10 -n ldap::LDAP
       -u "CN=12345,OU=L3,OU=IIB Users,DC=ibm,DC=com"
       -p password

Problem conclusion

• The mqsisetdbparms command now converts xml mnemonics into their
  actual character before storing the username.
