PQ21038: HOSTNAME INCORRECTLY PARSED BY LE WHEN TRAILING BLANKS ARE PRESENT.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• EDCORINT parses the TCPIP.DATA (/etc/hosts) file for LE. The
  HOSTNAME length is incorrectly determined because trailing
  blanks are not stripped off before the length is determined.
  ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:
  FTP client will receive the following error:
  CY0898 ftpStart: setibmopt error (138/11B3005A) - EDC5138I No
  such device or address.
  This will be seen when FTP is invoked with trace.  This fails
  in interactive TSO and works in batch.
  

Local fix

• If possible specify a HOSTNAME without trailing blanks.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the __iphost function.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the HostName is read from the      *
  *                      resolver configuration file, TCPIP.DATA *
  *                      or /etc/resolv.conf, the resulting      *
  *                      string is not properly terminated.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Code within the module EDCORINT does not properly null terminate
  the hostname string.  This causes the __IPHOST function to
  return an invalid hostname.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code in EDCORINT was corrected to properly terminate the
  hostname string.
