We are on z/OS 1.13, I'm still a little unclear of our exposure here. The apar
states:
...
In the reported problem, iconv() calls the Unicode Services,
conversion information service, CUNLINFO or CUN4LINF, during a
character conversion and receives RC8 RSNB when the create time
of the UCCB time is D0000000 0000000 or greater.
...
1. Any application or system code that calls iconv() -
The iconv() service only makes use of the Unicode
Information Services at z/OS 2.1 and higher releases.
iconv() is not exposed to this defect on z/OS 1.13 and
lower.
If I'm understanding this correctly:
1. The bug makes iconv() fail because CUNLINFO or CUN4LINF fails with RC8.
2. iconv() only calls CUNLINF or CUN4LINF only at z/OS 2.1 and higher.
so at 1.13 the only failure would be any code that calls CUNLINFO or CUN4LINF
directly? other than what was stated above, no other IBM components call
these?
I plan on getting this applied but we probably would not be able to get
production online lpars IPLed before this date, just want to understand and be
able to explain the risks.
thanks
