PI55590: INCORRECT HANDLING OF NAME VALUES FOR UCD OBJECTS DURING EXPORT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You will see issues with applications exported in versions 6.2
  and above. This is due to a change in behavior regarding
  trimming of spaces in UCD objects, such as Name and Value.
  

Local fix

• The customer could do one of two things:
  (1) Open each object and re-save it. This will cause UCD to trim
  the spaces.
  (2) Run a regex to remove trailing spaces from object names on
  the exported JSON file.
