SQUASH Problem Log

Problem Report Dated: May 19, 1998

Affected release levels: SQUASH Release 4.01 only when used on an AS/400 with Security Level 40 or higher (check system value QSECURITY).

Problem Description:

Due to a change in OS400, SQUASH fails during member compression and decompression when the system security level is set to level 40 or higher. Error codes MCH6801 and CPA0701 are issued and the process halts with options C D I or R offered. Note: Taking the I option will allow the process to complete but the member type will not be updated correctly; this must be done manually.

Problem Resolution:

Found the problem and corrected the defect. A PTF is now available to address this situation. If you have SQUASH Release 4.01 and you would like to receive this PTF, just send us an E-mail request and we'll return the PTF file to you by return E-mail. When ordering the PTF, specify PTF package name SQPTF401. You will find an E-mail link to us when you return to the SQUASH Customer Support Page (see below).
After this PTF is installed, the member type for compressed members will be preceded by the characters Q_' in place of the usual SQUASH indicating characters of Q>'.
