Problem summary

  • The GetStringPlatform() API in zOS is unable to get the encoding
    using iconv due to iconv failure and  always takes the encoding
    from JDK converter for Cp037 which has a different mapping for
    line feed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.1 SR6
    6.0.0 SR14
    7.0.0 SR5
    .
    The JDK has been updated to fix the iconv failure and thereby
    taken the encoding using iconv when the specified codepage is
    available.
    

Temporary fix
