PI57828: USING A MNEMONIC TO REPRESENT A SPACE (BLANK) ON VALUES PASSED IN ON SOME OF THE COMMANDS FAILS TO CONVERT SUCCESSFULLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Some of the z/OS JCL commands fail to successfully convert the
  mnemonic used to represent the space (blank) character from the
  following versions of the product:
  WMB v8.0.0.6, IIB v9.0.0.4 and IIB v10.
  
  For example, the following mqsicreateconfigurableservice command
  is submitted to create a Security Profile with an LDAP value
  that
  contains a space. In the command, we specify the mnemonic to
  represent a
  space ( ) and this is not correctly converted at later
  fixpack
  levels, as shown in the output from the mqsireportproperties
  command:
  
  mqsicreateconfigurableservice -
    MQ01BRK -
   -c SecurityProfiles -o My_Profile -
   -n authentication,authenticationConfig -
   -v LDAP,ldap://9.20.123.45:678/o=The Value
  
  mqsireportproperties -
    MQ01BRK -
    -c SecurityProfiles -
    -o My_Profile -r
  
  v8.0.0.5 :
  
  SecurityProfiles
    My_Profile
      authentication='LDAP'
      authenticationConfig='ldap://9.20.123.45:678/o=The Value'
  
  v8.0.0.6:
  
  SecurityProfiles
    My_Profile
      authentication='LDAP'
  
  authenticationConfig='ldap://9.20.123.45:678/o=The Value'
