​[[{“value”:”How secure you feeling today? Well, IBM i is generally pretty rock solid, but you have to stay on top of the security vulnerabilities. And there are two of them that are new this week.
First, we have Security Bulletin: IBM Java SDK and IBM Java Runtime for IBM i are vulnerable to a partial denial of service and a JNI function returning incorrect value length due to multiple vulnerabilities. You can find out more about this issue at this link, and here are the patches for it:
IBM i Release                         PTF Group
7.5                                             SF99955 Level 13
7.4                                             SF99665 …

​[[{“value”:”I followed the IBMi 7.5 “Example in ILE COBOL: Using data queues” https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=eudquq-example-in-cobol-opm-ile-using-data-queues (Last Updated: 2024-10-07).

Compilation issues The version of QUSEC OF QSYSINC-QLBLSRC at my site contains two structures, both with BYTES-PROVIDED fields. So you have to specify MOVE 16 TO BYTES-PROVIDED OF QUS-EC to get it to compile. Similarly BYTES-AVAILABLE OF QUS-EC.
CALL QCAPCMD gave Error CPF0008 (Value in option control block not valid). IBM copybook structure QCA-PCMD-CPOP0100 at my site contained CCSID-COMMAND-STRING. This is not initialized in the IBM example. MOVE 0 TO CCSID-COMMAND-STRING OF QCA-PCMD-CPOP0100. This should fix the CPF0008 error from QCAPCMD.
