  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The Performance Expert Client
  (Statistics Details/DB2 Connect Server pan)
  and the Classic interface (ZDB2C panel)
  display  truncated name of DB2 Connect Server whose
  status is INACTIVE, whereas entire  name is displayed
  when the status is ACTIVE.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  When the underscore signs is part of a DB2 Connect Server
  name or a  Server Instance name and the DB2 Connect Server
  is inactive, the displayed name of the DB2 Connect Server
  is truncated at the first underscore sign.
  When the DB2 Connect Server name consists of more than 15
  symbols, the displayed name of the DB2 Connect Server
  is truncated at the 12th symbol.
  Ellipsis marks are added to the end of the truncated
  name to be displayed in this form by  the Performance
  Expert Client  and the VTAM Classic interface to indicate
  the truncation.
