  ****************************************************************
  01.z/OS Explorer enhancement introducing rse.env option
     seqsosi.to.spaces
  
     #_RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -Dseqsosi.to.spaces=true"
  
     Enable or disable the automatic replacement of the
     sequential SO and SI symbols in the content when opening a
     data set file in DBCS host encoding. The default is false.
     When the value is set to true, SOSI and SISO instances in
     the content will be replaced with spaces. It is to avoid a
     column shift left in display and read-only mode when the
     data set file is opened. The conversion is saved to the host
     only when users save the content explicitly.
  02.The pMsg of the FILE_INFO field of the input file handle
     used in a client command is not reset after used to generate
     the FFSResponse message and freed. (The field is *char with
     memloc as needed.) The field is double-freed when the file
     handle is reused through different JNI calls, pMsg got freed
     incorrectly when not reset to NULL after being freed.
  03.MODIFY LOGS appends new log data to the existing log file.
  04.Enhancement to detect whether the system supports GDGE. This
     is passed on to the client who can now decide to enable the
     support in the GDG allocation dialog.
  05.z/OS Explorer JMON sometimes misses notify for sysplex jobs,
     causing the client to wait forever
  06.z/OS Explorer JMON fails to properly identify JES version,
     which can result in reduced functionality and errors on the
     client side, for example " java.lang.NumberFormatException:
     For input string: "" " when expanding JES > My jobs
  07.error reporting active products in z/OS Explorer v3.2
     FEKLOGS
  
     ** ERROR ** z/OS UNIX command failed (RC 127):
     $RSE_HOME/bin/products.sh
  
     stderr has 1 lines
  
     /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin/products.sh: FSUM7351 not found
  08.Enhancement to boost resilience of JMON notify. Now JMON can
     automatically recover when JES ENF70 listener exit fails.
     The monitor interval can be set with new environment
     variable ENF70_MONITOR_INTERVAL.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Enhancement provided
  02.Reset the pMsg field to NULL when its memory is freed to
     flag for the next possible message construction not to free
     it when it is indeed was not used previously.
  03.Updated the MODIFY LOGS to delete the existing log file and
     create new log file for new log data.
  04.Enhancement to detect whether the system supports GDGE.
  05.adjusted code to use a different wait mechanism when not all
     fields are populated
  06.corrected coding error that caused random value to be picked
     up
  07.v3.2 FEKLOGS now correctly calls version.sh
  08.Added ABEND handler to ENF70 listener and monitor thread to
     JMON.
