APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Customer has a 4-character input field in which they type just one character. HATS sends just the one character to the host, which causes the host to return a formatting error (specific to that host application). HOD and PCOMM send the character followed by three spaces. Other fields on other screens seem to work fine in HATS.
Local fix
type character, followed by spaces to fill field
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: HATS users using DBCS code pages * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HATS sends "Z" in 4-char field, but * * emulators Host On Demand and Personal * * Communications send "Z " * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In DBCS codepage, HATS calls ECLField.SetString() to send data. But in ECLField.SetString(), we call ECLPS.setToNull() to clear the field data before sending data.
Problem conclusion
Following behavior of HATS in SBCS environment, we changed ECLField.SetString() to ECLPS.SetString(). Before calling ECLPS.SetString(), we will verify that the data length is not over the field length.
Temporary fix
