Local fix
Problem summary
The problem is that in when we compare files, we use an identifier that is derived from the timestamp of the file. Currently, that timestamp is of the form "Nov 24, 2009 2:30:02 PM" on an English machine and "2009/11/24 14:30:02" on a Japanese machine. The "/" is an illegal character which causes the error.
Problem conclusion
The fix uses Date.getTime() which returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT which is safe in all code pages. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V7.6.2.1 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
