Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of the dmpmqmsg command who use it to transfer a large amount of data Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The underlying type used to store the number of written bytes was a signed 32-bit integer and the code also printed this number as a signed value so the number became negative after recording 2GB of data. The messages field is also affected in the same way.
Problem conclusion
The code was modified so that the fields used to track the number of messages and bytes now use an unsigned 64-bit type and are also printed as unsigned values. This is a display problem only and will not interfere with the operation of the dmpmqmsg command. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.6 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
