Error description

  • The following scripts shipped with Liberty 8.5.5.5 for z/OS
    Connect feature:
    /<install_dir>/bin/zosConnect/bbgjs2ls
    /<install_dir>/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js
    
    contain characters that cause the scripts to fail.  When
    invoked from JCL, the scripts fail with RC=1.
    
    By turning hex on, the character is a x'0D'.  An example of
    this is:
    #!/bin/sh
    7568896A80444
    BA1295128D000
             ^
             ^
    

Local fix

  • Edit scripts and find all instances of x'OD' and change to
    x'40'.  Save.
    
    Or copy script files from earlier fixpack of Liberty if these
    are available

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    z/OS Connect provides the following scripts: BBGJS2LS and
    BBGLS2JS under <WLP>/bin/zosConnect.
    The JCL running either of the mentioned scripts fails reporting
    the following error:
    
     : /u/MSTONE1/wlp/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js 2: FSUM7351 not found
    : /u/MSTONE1/wlp/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js 4: FSUM7351 not found
    : /u/MSTONE1/wlp/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js 6: FSUM7351 not found
    : /u/MSTONE1/wlp/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js 8: FSUM7351 not found
    /u/MSTONE1/wlp/bin/zosConnect/bbgls2js 17: FSUM7332 syntax
    error: got EOF ...
    
    The reason for the failure is the presence of x'0D' carriage
    return characters in the scripts.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

  • Replace all x'0D' characters with x'40' characters.
