PH39398: SESN8558E MESSAGE GIVING WRONG ERROR DETAILS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since APAR PH18158, the size limit for a single session object
  was increased from 2MB to 10MB.
  
  But when storing more than 10MB, the error message still says:
  SESN8558E: An attempt was made to write more than 2M to the
  large column.
  
  This should be corrected like
  SESN8558E: An attempt was made to write more than 10M to the
  large column.
