PH45698: WMQ WHEN CUSTOM PROPERTIES ( SUCH AS CAPEXPRY ) ARE SPECIFIED IN LOWER CASE, THE SPECIFIED VALUE OF THE ATTRIBUTE IS IGNORED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MQ Development finds that a macro in CSQICRE2 is used to parse
  the contents of the object CUSTOM parameter prior to comparison
  with the valid CUSTOM values. This macro was refactored by code
  changes between the V910 and V920 releases, and resulted in the
  contents of the CUSTOM parameter no longer being uppercased.
  This results in the comparisons failing and the command
  silently failing if the contents of the CUSTOM parameter are
  not provided in uppercase. This affects all of the CUSTOM
  properties for each object type.
  

Local fix

• Specify attributes for any object CUSTOM values in upper case
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9       *
  *                 Release 2 Modification 0 and                 *
  *                 Release 3 Modification 0.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When setting a CUSTOM attribute on an   *
  *                      object, it will not be applied unless   *
  *                      it is specified in uppercase.           *
  ****************************************************************
  The code that handles the CUSTOM attribute incorrectly handled
  the uppercasing of the attribute resulting in a subsequent
  comparison failing and the property not being set.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been changed to capitalise the CUSTOM attribute
  before its comparison resulting in the CUSTOM property being
  set correctly.
  

Temporary fix
