Where is message IEB1135I from IEBCOPY documented? LOOKAT
doesn't show it.

But doc won't help me; I was just probing to see how new
it is. What's bugging me is that at z/OS 1.10 the text
contains 12 NULs. At 1.7, either IEB1135I wasn't issued
or it contained no NULs.

Why is this a problem? I'm filtering SYSPRINT through
a sed(1) script, and z/OS's sed is hostile to NULs.

Is nonprintable characters in utility messages APARable?

What's a good way to get rid of NULs in the meantime?

I went into IBMLINK and it looks like it came in 1994

If you are seeing NULS then I would open an ETR and get IBM to make them
Spaces.

So how long is it supposed to take a message to diffuse from
IBMLink into M&C? Or is it one of those self-explanatory
messages that so delight this group?

Good idea. They've fixed one of these before. (In HLASM, IIRC.)
Hmmm. Obtain line buffer. XC to clear. Start stuffing fields.

And who were all these people ranting in the past week that one
should validate one's input? And why was I not paying attention?

Thanks for the research,
gil

I see the NULs at z/OS 1.10. I found a SYSPRINT from 1.7.
In that release, field contains the OS release. At 1.10,
it contains NULs. Looks very like a bug.

Oh, I am certain that IBM checked it out completely before and made sure
<vbg> there were only spaces. For what good assembler programmer would
allow x'00' instead of x'40' for spaces. ;-D

Acutually, I was commenting on my own position in a recent prolonged
thread.

Thanks for the pointer to OY58953. SIS shows that they have considerable
trouble getting IEB1135I right -- most recently OA27718.

Neither does QuickRef, but in response to a QuickRef search for IEB1135I
I got this:

======== Begin paste ==============
********************* Text Below Copyright (c) 2009, IBM

IEB1134D - IEB1137D diagnostic_text

Nothing more, and nothing specifically about IEB1135I.

That's about what I dld. But I left out the "cat" which is
truly superfluous.

Lizette sent me privately OY58953, which says:

--- MSGIEB1135I ----------------------------------------------
IEB1135I <mod> FMID <fmid> SERVICE LEVEL <ptf> DATED <date>
<df_product> MVS <cvtprod> CPU <cvtmdl>
EXPLANATION: Please supply ALL info when requesting service.

It's what I put in the APAR. Will they reject the ETR because
one of the fields they require is null?

Is OY58953 the correct place to keep the doc of this message?
Nowadays, if LOOKAT doesn't find it, I deem it missing.

Thanks,
gil

IBM says, known problem, repaired by OA27718. We're ordering.

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
IEBCOPY messages: MSGIEB1135I has incorrect FMID.
MSGIEB1017W has extraneous information.

Doesn't say a lot about x'00'. Who woulda guessed it. IBM
found because they couldn't recreate at their service level.
