Error description
When setting the LC_ALL parameter to: LC_ALL=En_US.IBM-1047,
the customer expected that the java file encoding in WebSphere
Application Server would be set to codepage 1047. However this
is not the case. The java file encoding in this case is Cp037.
When LC_ALL=C is specified in httpd.envvars, java file encoding
is then set to codepage 1047.  The customer feels that codepage
1047 should be set when 1047 is specified in the envvars file.
This problem occurs when running WebSphere Application Server
v4.01 via the plugin.  This apar is a sysroute (rollup) of
WebSphere Application Server v3.5 apar 
PQ61192.

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.                  *

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the httpd.envvars file contains the  *
*                      parameter LC_ALL=En_US.IBM-1047, then   *
*                      the default Java file encoding is       *
*                      incorrectly set to Cp037                *
*                                                              *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When the Web server's httpd.envvars file specifies:
LC_ALL=En_US.IBM-1047,
the default Java file encoding is incorrectly set to Cp037
instead of the correct code page Cp1047.
Problem conclusion
the WebSphere Application Server version 4.0.1 for z/OS
and OS/390 was changed to set the default java file
encoding to Cp1047 when the httpd.envvars file
specifies LC_ALL=En_US.IBM-1047.

The code changes are stored in CMVC under defect PQ63575.
