Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• pre-compiling PL/I source at DB2 for ZOS V8.1 the precompile
  fails with MSGDSNH331I.DFHBMSCA got error stating ' x'80' in
  DFHBMEOF couldn't be translated from 939 to 1208(Unicode).
  In DB2 for z/OS V8.1, character codes are translated fromebcdic
  to Unicode at precompile time.
  DFHAID PLI copy book has translation failure. CLRP fieldfails t
  to translate correctly.

  ****************************************************************
  When a program with the PL/I version of the DFHBMSCA copybook is
  compiled using the DB2 V8 precompiler, message DSNH331I is
  issued for fields DFHBMEOF and DFHHLT. The same message is
  issued for field DFHCLRP in the DFHAID copybook. The
  declarations of these fields initialises them to a single
  character with a hexidecimal value but this is not recognised in
  the code page used by the DB2 V8 precompiler.
  
  Additional keywords: PLI PL1 hex   X'6A'   X'80' X'41'
  

Problem conclusion

• The PL/I version of the DFHBMSCA and DFHAID copybooks have been
  changed to initialise DFHCLRP to '6A'X, DFHBMEOF to '80'X and
  DFHHLT to '41'X instead of a single hexadecimal character.
