Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a provider name of at least 8 characters and an lrecl
  over 104 for OBJNAME, an extra space is added at the end of the
  provider name and the .json, causing CDA to not find it;e.g.
  
  ERROR: Could not open provider file
  </usr/lpp/dfsms/gdk/providers/DSSCLOUD .json>
  ERROR: Errno message (129): EDC5129I No such file or directory.
  

Local fix

• 1) Use an OBJNAME that has lrecl of 104 or less.
  2) If long OBJNAME is needed, just split it multiple records
  (104 or less) using OBJNAMEX instead
