The maximum length for lines of IRRRID00 output is 255 characters. If a command is longer than 255 characters, such as when ADDMEM, DELMEM, and WHEN(CRITERIA) operands contain lengthy values, the utility splits command lines at blank characters into shorter pieces. If a piece is too long to fit on one line, the utility puts a question mark in the first column, the piece is truncated, and if a continuation mark is needed, it appears in column 255.

Before you issue a truncated command, copy the command pieces to a longer length record and add the truncated data to the command image. To locate the truncated data, search your input data set (the IRRDBU00 utility output).
