IV36387: JAVA NULL POINTER EXCEPTION FOR FILE UNLOAD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Editor for Messages Java Null Pointer Exception for File Unload
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  Users running with Editor for Messages v2.0 IF08.
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Edit for messages could raise Java Null pointer when you export
  a message using 'Unload' function. This occurs when there is no
  'Put Date' and "Put Time" defined in message header which are
  required by Messages for Editor program.
  

Problem conclusion

• Put Date and Put Time is set by the MQ application if
  MQPMO_SET_ALL_CONTEXT is used. For any reason this option is not
  used then the two may not have any value in MQ messages. Editor
  for Messages code is corrected to bypass the null putDateTime
  and move forward without raising null pointer exception.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
