PH27495: DEFAULT HOST ENCODING FROM REMOTE SYSTEM IS AUTOMATICALLY USED WHEN IDZ CLINET WORKSTATION CONNECTS TO REMOTE SYSTEM.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESC :
  
  When the customer opened file under USS (Z/OS UNIX Files
  directory), she found that Japanese characters in the file are
  garbled.
  
  Checked this issue, we found that Cp1047: Default from remote
  system is automatically used when IDz client workstation
  connects to Remote System.
  
  This customer uses Japanese IDz client workstation (IDz Client
  V14.2.1).  For the test, we tried to change the encoding setting
  of Remote System (Properties->Host "Default encoding"), but the
  changed value cannot be saved.  Everytime when the client
  connects to the Remote System, the value is returned to the
  original value (Cp1047).
  
  Only IDz client V14.2.2 Uk can save modified value
  

Local fix

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

• The system falls back to the default host encoding after
  connecting to a remote system
  

Temporary fix
