APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The issue is specific to NLS installs where space for the result
    is not reallocatedd properly when adding the trailing fill
    characters.
    
    For example:
    Can reproduce the problem at the uvsh level with the simple
    BASIC code: IN="ccccccc" PRINT FMT(IN, "3990T")
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When NLS is enabled and the BASIC FMT function is invoked with a
    width > 2048 for text justification, core is dumped.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been fixed to ensure the buffer for holding the
    resulting formatted string is reallocated when size limit has
    been reached.
    

Temporary fix
