A fix is available
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
