IT36042: CANNOT ADD ENTRY TO CODE LIST

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to import a code list customer gets the following
  error:
  The object [SenderItem: OCEAN_40 ReceiverItem: 38
  Description: OCEAN_40 Text1: Text2: Text3: Text4: ]
  will be
  overwritten by the object [SenderItem: OCEAN_403 ReceiverItem:
  8 Description: OCEAN_403 Text1: Text2:Text3: Text4: ]
  
  Note
  that both codes entries are unique and therefore should not be
  overwritten.
  
  The issue can also be seen if using the dashboard
  UI to create a new code list, enter one of the codes
  combination, OCEAN_40 and 38,
  which works fine but when trying
  to enter the second one, OCEAN_403 and 8, we get the
  error:
  "One of the new code already exists in the list. Please
  try again with a unique Sender Code and a unique Receiver
  Code."
  Strange thing is that if I enter the sender/receiver
  code combination OCEAN_406/8 instead of OCEAN_403/8, it works
  fine and the same happens for
  combination OCEAN_403/9, it also
  works fine, it seems to be only the specific combination
  OCEAN_403/8 that causes the issue
  
  The issue doesn't seem to be
  database related since I could reproduce it on MSSQL, DB2 and
  Oracle database systems.
  Also could reproduce the issue on
  5.2.6.x, 6.0.2.2 and 6.0.3.2 and customer has the issue on
  6.0.1.0
  

Local fix

• STRRTC- B2BISFG-56435
  OAQ / OAQ
  Circumvention: a key will be
  used in form of SenderItem+ReceiverItem, the concatenation of
  both strings has to be unique.
