Error description

Example of Problem: Application tried to display DBCS character
("ABC") in SYSPRINT of joblog by using a following method;
System.out.println(" &#65411;A&#65411;B&#65411;C ");
The last three lines in the joblog should show 'ABC' in
DBCS character.
However, these were not displayed correctly.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V7.0 and V8.0                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server for z/OS   *
*                      Servant region version 7.0 prints       *
*                      Japanese DBCS characters from           *
*                      System.out and System.err messages      *
*                      to JOBLOG in EBCDIC.                    *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The message displayed by a user application using System.out
and System.err are converted from ASCII to EBCDIC in the
native code.  When the message includes DBCS characters, they
are inappropriately converted to EBCDIC.

Problem conclusion

The messages from the user application are converted to the
customer specified encoding.If no encoding schema is
specified, the default of EBCDIC is used.

APAR PM32110 requires changes to documentation.

NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our
Web site, so the changes might have been made before you
read this text. To access the latest on-line
documentation, go to the product library page at:

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library

The following changes to the z/OS version of the WebSphere
Application Server Version 7.0 Information Center will be
made available in September, 2011.

The topic "Java Virtual Machine custom properties" will be
updated to include the following description of the new
com.ibm.ws390.SystemOutErrCodepage custom property:

com.ibm.ws390.SystemOutErrCodepage

Use this custom property to specify an encoding schema
for messages issued using System.out and System.err with
the println, print and write methods other than EBCDIC.
If no encoding schema is specified, EBCDIC, which is the
default encoding schema, is used for these messages.

The value specified for this property must be in string
format.

If you decide to use this custom property, you must specify
it as a JVM custom property for the servant.

APAR PM32110 is currently targeted for inclusion in
Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.19 and 8.0.0.1  of WebSphere
Application Server.

Please refer to URL:
//www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970
for Fix Pack availability.
