    01.FEKLOGS tool cannot process a path containing a $ sign
    02.The workflow item FEKCSET interprets $ characters in the
       directory name incorrectly resulting in failure or incorrect
       results.
    03.A SCLM version list request may alter the syscall
       environment within an ISPF reusable session which
       subsequently can cause a Compare or browse of version
       history to hang the ISPF host session.
    04.C developers may encounter error
       "UnsupportedEncodingException: filetag" when using statement
       like "??=pragma filetag ("IBM-1147")"
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.Problem has been corrected
    02.FEKCSET work item modified to handle special characters.
       Modification to rsed.envvars file backup message.
    03.The SCLM DT host version module BWBVER has been modified to
       preserve the correct syscall environment over multiple
       versioning requests.
    04.C developers may encounter error
       "UnsupportedEncodingException: filetag" when using statement
       like "??=pragma filetag ("IBM-1147")"
