Error description

  • IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v14.2.3
GDG Limit shows wrong number when it's greater than 9 in
encoding IBM-930 and IBM-1390.

Steps to reproduce:
- Define a GDG base with Limit greater than 9.
- Connect a Remote Systems connection with the host code page of
the MVS Files subsystem set to IBM-930 (or IBM-1390).
- Browse and select the GDG base. In the dataset Properties
view, its Limit is shown with incorrect number of 0.

Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: 01.All zExpl and IDz users with zExplorer    *
*                    host with MVS Subsystem's host encoding   *
*                    IBM-930 and IBM-1390.                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.In IDz 14.1, LIMIT values of GDG     *
*                         that are greater than 9 are shown    *
*                         with the wrong value of 0 in         *
*                         IBM-930 and IBM-1390 encodings.      *
****************************************************************
01.RSE backend does not return correctly the LIMIT attribute of
   the GDG when reading from z/OS. It is using lowercase hex
   character for the values, which are not supported by IBM-930
   itself and IBM-1390 TSO client. Front end client has the
   default 0 in such case.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • 01.When reading from z/OS, use upper case hex character to
   represent LIMIT attribute of the GDG. Similar limitation has
   not been found for upper case letter with encodings.
