CEE3207S The system detected a data exception (System Completion Code=0C7).

We just installed Co:Z onto our z/OS system V1.9. I connected to it via OPENSSH's sftp from a RedHat system. We get the above failure sometimes (mostly on user PDS datasets i.e. userid.pds.dataset) and have no problems on other (non-user datasets). This happens when we cd to the full dataset name so that the members can be listed. Then, when the "ls" command is issued, the failure occurs. An example of the scenario follows:

From the RedHat Linux system:

sftp userid@z/OSsystem
sftp> cd //userid.mydata.data
sftp> ls <==== This causes the failure and termination of session

Note: userid.mydata.data is a PDS file.

Thanks for reporting this problem. This looks to be caused by a PDS directory entry that contains unexpected data where a date is expected, and the C-library's "decimal" type is getting a data exception when converting what it expects to be a packed field.

We will fix this so as to validate these packed decimal fields.

Could you capture a trace so that we can be sure of the problem?

To do this, from your client:

sftp> cd //userid.mydata.data
sftp> ls /+logLevel=F
sftp> ls

This will still trap, but the error log file for the session should have a trace that will help us verify the fix. By default this error log is created in /tmp.

Please email the log to support@dovetail.com
