Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4 transferring to or from datasets. Platforms affected: z/OS **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: In some circumstances a timing issue can arise when transferring data to or from datasets which will lead to variable being erroneously assigned a value of 0. This later causes the ArithmeticException when the code attempts to divide by this value.
Problem conclusion
The code has been altered to prevent the timing issue from causing an ArithmeticException. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Platform v7.0 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.0.4.3 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
