Error description

  • This exception is due to the parser for the notification going
    off the
    end of the notification. The notification ends with:
    
    ...  FaultCategory3=
    
    As there is no value here, the parser throws the exception
    trying to
    determine whether the value is quoted, without considering the
    possibility that there is no actual value.
    
    This issue will require an APAR to fix the parser in the
    gateway, to
    handle this case.
    
    In the meantime,
    
    the issue can be worked around by ensuring there is at    least
    some data to parse, by enclosing the value in quotes (the quotes
    will be processed and removed, leaving no value as intended.)
