PK90237: EDF SCREEN LOCKS WITH PROG755 WHEN NON EBCDIC CHARACTERS ARE SENT TO THE DISPLAY FOR THE SQLERRMC FIELD.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When CEDF sends a 3270 datastrem to the terminal for the
  SQLERRMC field it needs to make sure it is not sending non
  EBCDIC characters. Sending non EBCDIC characters is resulting in
  a PROG753 error. We should check SQLERRMC and send out a period
  x'4B' instead of any non EBCDIC Character.

  ****************************************************************
  CEDF will display an execution complete screen for an SQL
  command, as formatted for display by DB2. If the SQLERRMC
  field contains a non-displayable value, CEDF will send it
  to the screen causing a PROG755 terminal error and screen
  lock.

Problem conclusion

• DFHEDFCB has been altered to replace any non-displayable
  characters in a CEDF screen formatted by a TRUE with a
  period (X'4B') to avoid a terminal error. The original value
  of the character can be seen using PF5 to view working
  storage for fields in the SQLCA.
