Error description

  • When users try to paste quite a long text into an editor screen
    (example: CICS or ISPF editor), sometimes a lot of the text were
    not getting pasted, even though it pastes fine into other
    windows applications (example: Word).
    
    The words were getting broken up to the right border, and some
    words were "put together" (like the supposed spaces were getting
    removed). And this issue seems to happen at random.
    
    They discovered that with the DOCMODE setting activated, they
    cannot paste the long texts containing blank lines, and that
    only the text above the blank line are getting pasted.
