Error description

• On a system with German regional and language options
  installed, if you type the runmqsc commands "define sub" or
  "alter sub" then an incomplete AMQ8427 message is returned. The
  console output of the AMQ8427 message is missing the help
  section (it does not show the choice of valid commands).
  For example:
  
  def sub
  1 : def sub
  AMQ8405: Syntaxfehler in oder bei folgendem Befehlssegment:
  def sub
  
  AMQ8427: Gultige Syntax fur den MQSC-Befehl:
  
  In the error log an AMQ6118 error is written and a FDC similar
  to the following may be created:

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users who use runmqsc with German regional and language options
  installed.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When building the command usage error message, runmqsc retrieves
  local translations for the tags used in the error message. In
  this case, there was a problem with the German translation for
  "generic_Q_Mgr_name", which is "generischer_WS-Manager".
  
  This translation was too long to be stored in a temporary buffer
  so it was truncated. This truncation was detected and reported
  in the FDC.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was corrected so that a suitably sized buffer was used
  to hold the translated tag.
