Error description
Need to allow individual maps to be configured for zSeries conversion without changing the default global setting which is to use iSeries conversion.
Local fix
No workaround
Problem summary
Users Affected: GIODE and customers who need to perform packed decimal conversion (iSeries or zSeries). Problem Description: There is a global translator properties setting for controlling whether or not packed decimal conversion is performed for iSeries or zSeries, but there is not a method for controlling which format (iSeries or zSeries) is used for the conversion based on the map being executed. Platforms Affected: All
Problem conclusion
Resolution Summary: This enhancement will be similar to configuring maps for SWIFT and removing trailing zeroes, before that feature was made part of map compilation. In the customer_overrides.properties, add the suffix which will identify maps for zSeries packed decimal conversion: translator.storage.needZSeriesPackedDecimal.mapSuffix._ZSERIES=t rue In each map, add the suffix "_ZSERIES" to the Map Description (e.g. "ASCII_to_EBCDIC_ZSERIES") and re-compile the map. The Map Description is used because the compiled txo has no reference to the map name. You can declare any suffix you want in customer_overrides.properties. If desired, you can also declare specific maps instead of using a suffix. For example: translator.storage.ASCII_to_EBCDIC.needZSeriesPackedDecimal=true ...where "ASCII_to_EBCDIC" matches the Map Description. Delivered In: 5020603_3
