IZ70876: INCORRECT FILETAGS WHEN ONLY ASCII ENV VAR IS SET

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: When environment  variable
  "IBM_JAVA_ENABLE_ASCII_FILETAG" is set BUT
  "-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" is NOT set then the output file is
  tagged with "wrong/not existing" codepage.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  The meaning of ""-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" is NOT set" is
  either
  a) there is NO "-Dfile.encoding" property set or
  
  b) there is "-Dfile.encoding" property set, but NOT "ISO8859-1"
  

Local fix

• No Workaround
  

Problem summary

• The parameter to file tagging functionality was not passed and
  hence taken stale value from Register 1 which happens to be the
  address of the function and always non zero.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR11 FP2
  .
  The JVM has been updated to handle the file tagging
  functionality properly.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20100321 or later
  

Temporary fix
