Hi,

We use WTX 8.2.0.4 in WMB 6.1.0.3 in z/OS. The input is in xml (UTF-8). All type trees are created by importing the xsds with the default options. The main map calls several other maps using the RUN fuction. This works ok in our development machine (windows 2003) using the following run function:
=RUN("map1",ECHOIN(1,SUBSTITUTE(CPACKAGE ( In1,"ASCII" ), "DSDDfh:", ""))+ " -OE1")

In mainframe we have asked for the input files to have no encoding transformation. The input passes the validation in the main map, but when going to the run functions we receive an "8" error (One or more inputs was invalid) and in the trace of that map we get a validation error. The run function -slightly different than in windows- that we use is the:
=RUN("map1.mvs",ECHOIN(1,SUBSTITUTE(CPACKAGE ( In1,"ASCII" ), "DSDDfh:", ""))+ " -OE1"+ " -TIOS=/u/MQSTRBK/trace")

Any ideas?

Thanks,
George

Could you attach the .mtr file ?
There you can see what data is not valid when you pass data with echoin function.

Also you could try using FILEIN instead of using ECHOIN. Its suggested to use the first one when data passed is a large amount.

Thanks for the quick response.
This is the mtr file. I will test with FILEIN asap and let you know if there is any change.

I tried also with HANDLEIN (I believe that is what you meant), but with no luck (similar error). My test data is about 10K anyway.

Sure, handlein, sorry for the mistake, i said this from memory.

Are you really sure that map1.mvs and map1.mmc ( windows one ) are based on the same .mms file ? Recompile map1 for Z/OS, then upload again to Z/OS. If you are really sure of this, then i'd put backup of input card 1 "on" for map1.mms, so there, you can see what really map one is getting from run function.
Also add -AEDU to the run command, just after -TIOS.

=RUN(
"map1.mvs",ECHOIN(1,SUBSTITUTE(CPACKAGE ( In1,
"ASCII" ), 
"DSDDfh:", 
""))+ 
" -OE1"+ 
" -TIOS=/u/MQSTRBK/trace -AEDU=/u/MQSTRBK/audit")

so you can see the log for the executed map.

As you can see at the .mtr

(Level 1: Offset 0, len 0, comp 1 of 2, #1, DI 00000001:). External Parser returned Error:. TYPE X
'0005' (Error (-1),

byte . (p) of a .-

byte sequence.)... External Parser returned Error.. End of Validation messages 

for INPUT CARD 1.... End of Execution messages..

it raises the error just at the beggining, you need to see what is reading map1.

Thanks for your answer.

I tried what you advised and received the messages that I include in the end of this reply. Also from the backup of the input card it seems that it is truncated in the beginning and in the end (or some bytes are changed). Since I will be on vacations in a few hours, sorry if I do not reply soon to any answer following this message. I will do as soon as I get back. Thanks again for your help.

Hi, I am using
IBM Websphere Transformation Extender Design Studio
Version: 8.2.0.3
Build id: 58

I create a type tree by importing a xsd with no encoding specified in the xsd. The type tree generated has a schema encoding set to UTF-8. I was wondering how I can get rid of the default encoding and specify one of my choosing in the type tree like "ISO-8859-1". Any help will be appreciated.

Use the encoding as "IBM-037" in XML file . This should work in Mainframe.

A RUN() function will transform the data to NATIVE while passing data to and from the child map.

Using CTEXT() with NATIVE is the correct way to do this.  As you're using CTEXT() with ASCII, it works on Windows, but it will fail on z/OS because NATIVE is EBCDIC, so a conversion will take place.

Change your CTEXT() with ASCII to NATIVE, and it should work as expected.

Thank you.
