APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PMR 42985,999,000 - CARDIN DDname record contains binary zeros
  in pos 71 - 76.
  
  ===============================================================
  Date reported: 04/24/2015
  
  Severity: High
  
  Users Affected:
  All IMU users of MU V4.1
  
  
  Problem Description:
  The output record created by the program that reads CARDIN
  (input data located at the tail end of the program after the
  "END" statement) contains binary zeros in columns 71-76.
  
  Problem Summation
  The CARDIN file is a special file created by the translator
  from the data records that are placed after the "END" statement
  at the tail end of the program. The logic is in the FSYCARD0
  program. As is now, this program receives records that are
  shorter than 80 bytes but it writes a full 80 bytes record.
  
  The binary zeros come from the memory located after the input
  text.
  
  
  Problem Conclusion:
  FSYCARD0 program was changed to pad the trailing bytes with
  spaces when input text length is less than 80 bytes.
  
  
  Impact on existing programs:
  FSYCOARD0 is loaded dynamically during the translating process
  when doing Link and Go.
  
  There is no impact on existing programs. No re-compiling is
  needed.
  
  
  Changed modules:
  FSOFT01.V4R1M0.SFSYLOAD
    FSYCARD0 - existing load module
