APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When copying a situation's DISTRIBUTION value, if value is more
    than 4168 bytes in length the resultant DISTRIBUTION value in
    written to file specified per -l switch will be truncated, thus
    loss of data for DISTRIBUTION value.
    

Local fix

  • The 'missing', truncated data can be manually added by editing
    the file that was specified per the -l switch.
    

Problem summary

  • tacmd editsit -l truncates DISTRIBUTION value > 4168 when
    updating XML file
    
    When using the -l option of 'tacmd editsit -l
    <myFavoriteSit.xml>' if the DISTRIBUTION property has a value
    that is more than 4168 bytes the resulting DISTRIBUTION property
    value written out to <myFavoriteSit.xml> is truncated.  This
    usually results in the XML file, <myFavoriteSit.xml> in this
    example, being malformed and thus it can not be 'imported' via
    tamcd createsit or otherwise.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Corrected 'computed' buffer pointer to prevent loop logic from
    prematurely stopping the writing of DISTRIBUTION value to
    <myfavoriteSit.xml> output file.
