Re: Removing blanks from a varning length field.

DLE is Data Link Escape control character. It is a unprintable (that is,
no defined character representation to display) bit value of x'10'. This
probably explains why you were seeing *s earlier as there is no
displayable/printable character value associated with it.

Hi,

What does DLE mean?

Thanks

Based on what I see in your code and debug values (namely trailing

DLEs)

replace

eval record = %trimr(record);

with

Pos2 = %scan(x'10' :Record);
Record = %subst(Record :1 :(Pos2 - 1));

Personally I would change a few other things, but the above should take
care of the DLEs you're getting.

also currently i knew this correct value of *record* field ( i mean

here i knew decrypted value of this *encodedexchangetoken* in

but

what about those unforeseen scenarios where this decrypted value

be

something else based on the different values supplied in
*encodedexchangetoken* field( that is why i have kept it as a

how

you please amend it and share it in your reply email so that i could

test

it.

Debug is showing that the UNIXCMD program is returning data link

escape

(x'10') values rather than blanks for bytes 65 - 80, and then

blanks

(x'40') starting at 81. If you somehow know that the actual data

length

being sent is 80 bytes (which it appears from your notes that you

do)

then

eval record = %trimr(%subst(record :1 :80) : x'10');

and record should now be all blanks following byte 64.

Otherwise trim blanks and DLEs from record OR, as this is EBCDIC

data,

scan

for the first DLE and substring out bytes 1 thru the DLE position

less

1.

Either way should get the job done based on your current XML

document.

somewhere in the above process."

----When I debug I get N1 = 64 which is incorrect which ideally

should

have

been 48 as per current decrypted value( if you calculate the

length

of

actual decrypted value which is actually in current scenario is '
*707fbe32-0dbc-41e0-888f-5bc40de8c20d2P9AMPCTQ4CZ*' ) of '
*encodedExchangetoken'* field which is read from input XML file

and

comes

in record field after this openssl command in the mentioned

program.

so value of N1=64 in debug mode which clearly indicates that we

have

some

garbage value apart from decrypted value in record field here

and I

am

struggling to remove that garbage value only.


RCDLEN = 500 is incorrect then what should be correct length on

fly

so

that i can set it as per exact decrypted value of record field

which

should not contain any garbage value in it?

Please see below values obtained in debug session after following

given

instructions:-

I apologize if you've done these steps before, but could you:

1. Enter debug of your program
2. Set a breakpoint on the statement
eval encodedExchangeToken =%trimr(encodedExchangeToken);
3. Set a second breakpoint on the statement
eval record = %trimr(record);
4. Run the program
5. At the breakpoint set in step 2 run
eval encodedExchangeToken:x 96
6. Resume the program and at the breakpoint set in step 3 run
eval record:x 96
7. Post the displayed results of steps 5 and 6
8. Post the contents of

sorry i did not understand what you mean but let me

explain

somethings

clearly:-

1) decrypted output of this AES128 algorithm is

uncertain.

One step at a time... There are only two things

that

you

can

do

about this AES128 algorithm you mention. It must either

accept a

valid

varying-length parameter and handle it as such or there

must

be a

separate

parameter which allows you to pass a length value in

addition

to

the

data

to be encrypted/decrypted. No one can answer those issues

for

you

(unless

they are familiar with the process of which you are

speaking).

You

must

be able to analyze the AES128 algorithm to determine which

of

the

above

two requirements can be met.
