When a joined file is split using Joined File Split (XRBREAK), half-width yen symbols in data joined to the file may be converted to half-width backslashes

Phenomenon

When a joined file is split using Joined File Split (XRBREAK), half-width yen symbols in data joined to the file may be converted to half-width backslashes.

Severity level

A: critical

Affected versions

From Ver.7.0.0 to Ver.8.4.6

Modified version

Ver.10.2.0

Condition to reproduce

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

  • "I" (IBM Kanji) is specified for Code Set for Transfer (CS4TRNSFR) in the System Environment Settings

    In versions lower than Ver.8.1.0, the field Code Set for Transfer (CS4TRNSFR) does not exist, and "I" (IBM Kanji) is always used.

  • The Joined File Break program is executed with one of the following defined for EBCDIC Set on the XRCRD definition card

    0:

    Autoconfiguration (*1)

    E:

    Japan (Latin) for IBM (*2)

    F:

    Japan (Latin) Extended for IBM (*3)

    H:

    Japan (Katakana) Extended for IBM (*3)

    Unspecified (*3)

     

    *1

    :

    Can be selected in Ver.8.1.0 and higher.

    *2

    :

    Occurs in Ver.7.0.0 and higher.

    *3

    :

    Occurs in Ver.8.1.0 and higher.

  • On the host that joined the file, the specification of Code Set for Transfer or Kanji Code Type is "S" (SHIFT-JIS) or "E" (EUC-JP)

  • The joined file data contains half-width yen symbols

Alternative workaround

None

Status description

Half-width yen symbols are correctly converted as half-width yen symbols.
