HULFT-30058

If a message or long message contains a character with a specific code, the character may be converted into a half-width yen symbol

Phenomenon

For backward compatibility, HULFT10 for IBMi uses HULFT-specific code conversion to convert messages.

Therefore, if a message or long message contains a character with that specific code, the character may be converted into a half-width yen symbol.

The messages or long messages where conversion to a half-width yen symbol occurs are as follows:

  • Messages or long messages that are stored in the Receive Log in EBCDIC

  • Messages or long messages for environment variables

Severity level

B: high

Affected versions

Ver.10.2.0

Modified version

Ver.10.2.0A

Condition to reproduce

This phenomenon occurs when all of the following conditions are met:

  • "I" (Japan (Latin) Extended for IBM Mode) is specified for Character Set Options for Messages (CHARSETOPTMSG) in the System Environment Settings

  • The specific character whose code is converted into "0x5C" in UTF-8 is contained in any of the following messages:

    • Message 0 to 5

    • Long message 0 to 1

Alternative workaround

None

Status description

The code of the specific character is correctly converted into a half-width backslash.
