Error description
Error Message: N/A . Stack Trace: N/A . Incorrect transformation of Arabic Tail character when performing Bidi transformation from visual format to implicit format on a text that contains Arabic Seen family character in base form (06 range) followed by Tail character.
Local fix
Problem summary
When the JDBC Connectivity driver converts the Sen Family character to its base form, it causes the Tail character (\u200b) to not be transformed to space correctly when performing Bidi transformation from visual to implicit format. The Tail character should be proceeded by Sen Family character in shaped form (FE range) to be converted to space correctly by the Bidi transformation algorithm.
Problem conclusion
JDK is updated to handle the Tail character correctly when it is proceeded by Sen Family character in its base form when converting from visual to implicit format . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 7 SR9 FP20 (7.0.9.20) 6 R1 SR8 FP15 (6.1.8.15) 8 SR2 (8.0.2.0) 6 SR16 FP15 (6.0.16.15) 7 R1 SR3 FP20 (7.1.3.20) .
