PM80274: SERVER - IMPORT INTERCHANGE INTCTLNO ALLOWS MASK VALUES.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using WDI 3.3 SFP6, it was noticed that Server
  Import allows for Mask values in the Interchange Control Numbers
  INTCTLNO field.
  Examples: I, I0, I0V, I0V0, I0G0V0, G0C, G0V, G0V0, etc.
  We appear to have checks for invalid alphabetic characters
  for the GRPCTLNO and TRXCTLNO, during Server import, but do not
  have anything to check/not allow any alphabetic characters for
  Interchange Control Numbers INTCTLNO field values.
  This is handled correctly in the Client, which only allows
  numerics for the Interchange Control Number field values.
