APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Customer has job that was created on the host that contains EBCDIC characters x'00'-x'31' that are defined as data in a COBOL program. When this job is copied to a zOS project the characters are still valid. However, once the job is submitted via RDz though, the characters are changed to x'40', which is an EBCDIC space.
Local fix
The root cause of this problem is the x'00' character. If the x'00' character is removed then the job can be successfully submitted via the Rational Developer for System z workspace.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of RDz who submit JCL * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a JCL file is submitted, if there * * is a null (zero) byte in the JCL, * * the characters on the line following * * the null byte are truncated from * * the submitted JCL. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a JCL file is submitted, if there is a null (zero) byte in the JCL, the characters on the line following the null byte are truncated from the submitted JCL.
Problem conclusion
Program error corrected. A null byte will now be included in the submitted JCL.
Temporary fix
