APAR status

Error description

• If search a full-width unicode character by ehllapi
  "search PS" or "search Field" call on HCP1399/1390 session,
  the other half-width character is also found.
  The pattern of the incorrect detection seems to be related to
  EBCDIC code of the target characters...
  The chart below is the sample of incorrect detection.
  .
  EBCDIC CODE of Target : EBCDIC CODE of character found
   xD489 ------------------- xD4 (M)
   x60DA ------------------- X60 (-)
   x5042 --------------------x50 (&)
   xB343 -------- RC/24 (Not found)
   ( Note: This chart is based on HCP1399)
  .
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• User search some full-width unicode characters
  on HCP1399/1390 session bu ehllapi application,
  the other half-width character is found.
  Ex. If search EBCDIC 0xD489 then 0xD4 is found.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is caused by incorrect DBCS
  character length was returned
  when identifying some Unicode characters, so
  that's why double byte host
  code only has the first byte recognized and
  cause error.
  

Temporary fix

• Yes
