Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * IBM Personal Communications users uploading PC Unicode file * * using 3270 file transfer. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * When a PC unicode file is uploaded to host, where the last * * byte is DBCS leading byte, the last unicode is corrupted and * * incorrectly translated to EBCDIC. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem code was added through APAR IC66141 / IC70695 which is a problem when a shift-JIS MBCS file is loaded to host. If the last byte is DBCS-leading byte, the last byte is removed. This logic must not be used when PC file is in unicode.
Problem conclusion
The PCSXFER.DLL was changed to not check DBCS-leading byte when the PC file is in unicode. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.13 Refresh Pack
Temporary fix
