Error description
In Rational Developer for z Systems (RDz) version 9.1.1.4 host, if a COBOL source containing a string variable with hex value of x'0D' is modified and saved, the x'0D' character is changed to x'3F'. The character modification can be observed when: - the cached files are cleared (Window > Preferences > Remote Systems > File Cache > Clear Cached files) and the source file is re-opened with the COBOL editor with the hex mode toggle on, - or the source is opened with a 3270 editor with the hex mode enabled The same problem exists in RDz host version 9.5+, IBM Developer for z Systems (IDz) host v14.0+ as well as as well as z/OS Explorer host v3.0+.
Local fix
Modify and save the source using a 3270 editor
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: b * * 01.All RDz users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.When uploading an MVS text file, * * the flags indicating text/binary * * can be set in multiple messages * * sent from client to host. Though * * the actual client sets the flag at * * the first message only, the host * * side assumes that all of the * * uploaing messages have the correct * * flag and treats the file content in * * binary mode unexpectedly. That * * causes a carriage return in a mvs * * text file is converted to a * * substitution character. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 01.The host module is updated to look at the text/binary flag only in the first uploading message to detect the text/binary mode for the uploading file correctly.
Problem conclusion
01.The host module is updated to look at the text/binary flag only in the first uploading message to detect the text/binary mode for the uploading file correctly.
