Special Characters Disallowed in Transaction Program Name (183118)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS 1.0, when used with:
This article was previously published under Q183118 SYMPTOMS
The Host Names tab on the Method properties sheet in the COM Transaction
Integrator for CICS and IMS (COMTI) Component Builder does not allow
periods in the name.
CAUSE
When you open the properties sheet and try to edit the TP Name, the problem
can occur. This is a bug in the code that handles entering a TP Name
through the method's Host Names Property page. Instead of checking for
legal type AE characters, the code is checking for the legal type A
characters. Only the alphanumeric characters $ (dollar sign), # (number
sign), and @ (at sign) are allowed.
WORKAROUND
To work around the problem you can use the Import Wizard because it
correctly handles the alphanumeric characters and allows periods to be
entered. Also, the code that reads a component into CB handles the name
correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft COM Transaction
Integrator for CICS and IMS version 1.0. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
