Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users who compile c++ code with              *
  *                 std::setfill() using IBM Open XL C/C+ 1.1    *
  *                 compiler and executing their program on s    *
  *                 ystems where IBM Open XL C/C++ 2.2 is        *
  *                 installed.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This is a binary compatibility issue    *
  *                      when c++ code with fill char. via       *
  *                      std::setfill() call is compiled with    *
  *                      v1 compiler but execute with v2         *
  *                      runtime. In this case the fill char.    *
  *                      is replaced with space. The problem     *
  *                      does not exists when both compile and   *
  *                      execute steps are using the same        *
  *                      version of compiler and runtime being   *
  *                      v1 or v2. The problem exits only in     *
  *                      mixed case.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF and recompile code affected    *
  *                 by this fix.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  The fill char. is repaced with 'space'. For example with
  std::setfill(0), char. '0' is replaced with ' '.
  

Problem conclusion

• IBM Open XL C/C+ 1.1 has changed so the fill char. will be
  preserved when executing on system with version of IBM Open XL
  C/C++ 2.1.
