APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The job BBOMCFG fails with following errors:
.
cp /was50/test/mqsi/V5R0M0/template/cntl/bip$ut01 /was50/testcfg
/AppServer/mqsi/V5R0M0/template/cntl/bip$ut01
.
cp: /was50/test/mqsi/V5R0M0/template/cntl/bip: EDC5129I No such
file or directory
.
On the system where the job was ran, '$' is a special character
and if encountered in a name, part of the file name will be
ignored.

The script ran by BBOMCFG should use quotes during cp, mkdir or
other command that involves file/directory name.

Note: If job BBOMCFG completes with RC=12 or higher, it
terminates.  The error needs to be resolved and job re-run to
make sure all necessary files were copied.
Local fix
Contact L2 for a modifed version of bbowhfs1.sh script.

****************************************************************
BBOMCFG fails for files and directories that have special
characters, like '$', in the name.  As a result, not all files
were processed and the config HFS will not be populated with
all the necessary files required by the product.
Problem conclusion
To correct the problem, we need to quote the files and
directories when doing a copy or link.  The WebSphere for z/OS
Customization dialog jobs will be updated so that files or
directories with special characters will be able to be copied
or linked.

APAR PQ79627 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502000 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
