Error description
When using WebSphere MQ V7 Explorer or the MS0T WebSphere MQ Explorer SupportPac, when a message whose data is in EBCDIC is browsed, the lower case EBCDIC characters are displayed as "." (dots). This can be seen only in the 'Data' part of the "Message Properties" window. The hex values of the characters are correctly displayed but in the 'eye-catcher' translation of the data, the lower case EBCDIC characters are displayed incorrectly as "." (period or dot) which internally refers to data that cannot be displayed. Note: The problem can be observed in the right-most part of the 'Message data bytes' field.
Local fix
