Error description
Receiving file contain garbage character. Customer set 'LANG=Ja_JP.IBM-939' at USS setting for DBCS code conversion. Sending DBCS file from Windows side to Unix file on zOS, with a 'LF(line feed)' at the end of file. It is the problem of dealing with 'LF' on DBCS(using 0E/0F(shift in/out) environment. . This looks to be an FTE problem with DBCS EBCDIC. Essentially when the end of line character is added we're not correctly taking account of the SI/SO state and hence the corruption of the data.
Local fix
Problem summary
Text transfers to DBCS EBCDIC codepage files may generate corrupted output for new line characters. Essentially FTE did not account for the shift in shift out state of the DBCS EBCDIC data when adding new line characters. The result is that when in the shift out (double byte mode) state a single byte new line character (0x15) is inserted, where the sequence should be to write a shift in (single byte mode) then the new line character. For example: sequence generated by FTE: 0x0E 0x44 0x8A 0x15 0x0F (for data from a file containing text of a single double byte character followed by a new line) should be: 0x0E 0x44 0x8A 0x0F 0x15 USERS AFFTECTED: Users that perform text transfer to a DBCS EBCDIC codepage file. e.g text transfers to a z/OS system with locale Ja_JP (Japan) PLATFORMS AFFECTED: Z/OS
Problem conclusion
This fixes the problem such that new line characters are correctly added for text transfers to DBCS EBCDIC data files.
