  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • IDz 14.x or zExplorer client 3.0.x shows erroneous server
    version 14.0 in the Properties view of the MVS Files filter
    The server version shows the 'internal protocol' but for the
    users, the server version is RDz 9.x (or versions before) which
    is what should be shown there.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When a user selects the MVS Files in the Remote Systems view and
     looks at the Property Sheet view to see the server version, the
     reported version shows 14.0 rather than the precise server
    version.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The reported version didn't match the actual version because the
     host property being used wasn't intended for display.  In order
     to resolve this, a different host property needs to be used for
     display purposes.
