writeErrorStatusPacket: packet ignored

Post by PaulB42 »

Hello
Can anyone explain what this means? We are attempting to SFTP to another company and for test purposes are using a password stored in a dataset.

CoZServerUtil: writeErrorStatusPacket: packet ignored: fromdsn(BBSPDB.JCL.CNTL(ACCPAY)):
msg="", rc=0, emsg="", errno=0, errno2=0X00000000
...
Authenticated with partial success.


I can see CoZ successfully reading the password with fromdsn (1 records/80 bytes read; 11 bytes written in 0.014 seconds )
What would cause the packet to be ignored?

Any help welcome as always
Paul

This is a trace-level [T] message, and in this case it really doesn't mean anything.

(Error status packets are sent in some modes of using fromdsn (like with Co:Z Launcher), but not in the mode that you are using it)

Thanks. This was indeed a red herring.
Turns out my issue was the password having a ~ character in it, which was wrongly stored as x'B6' instead of x'A1' !
