UCD Packaging v2 vs UCD Packaging v1 (Creating sidefiles for Fault Analyzer for Assembler-modules, UCD Package format V2 not working properly)

When running UCD packaging v1 the variable file mentioned above (sidefile) is taken care of properly, gets copied to zOS the correct way and can be used as is.

When running UCD packaging v2 the variable file mentioned above (sidefile) is NOT taken care of properly, gets corrupt during copy to zOS and CAN'T be used at all.

The info we have got from our IBM representatives after their contact with the UCD team is this:

Packaging with UCD v2 format any member stored as VB and BINARY does not restore the same layout while it is loosing new lines.

If the files would not contain low values like a HEX 15, 25 there would be no problem.

However the SYSADATA file is most likely containing a lot of low values. Only UCD package format v1 works for these files.

We would like to have the same functionality in UCD Packaging v2 as the one already present in UCD Packaging v1 for the files mentioned above.

# assembler sysadata data set

assembler_sysadataPDS=${hlq}.SYSADATA

UCD Packaging stuff CreateUCDComponentVersion):

containerMapping = {"LOAD" : "LOAD", "ADATA" : "BINARY" ...

File on zOS should look like this:
