Error description

• When creating an event binding file with the CICS Explorer
  Event Binding editor, a problem occurs where the Application
  Data value field can become truncated.

  The problem occurs after you have created the application data
  predicate and entered a value larger than 1 digit in the value
  field. After you save, if you reopen the application data to
  edit it, the value field is truncated down to just 1 digit. You
  can not over type or make this value larger.
