PM32681: TYPE TREE MAXIMUM SIZE PROPERTY SPECIFIED IN CHARACTERS IS NOT BEING ENFORCED DURING MAP INPUT VALIDATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The type tree Maximum Size property that is specified in
  Characters is not being enforced during map input validation.
  
  For example, a type tree component in a delimited group has the
  Size Min and Max values specified in Characters.  During input
  validation the data length exceeds the Max Size value but the
  map validation fails due a delimiter error instead of the
  expected 'fails maximum size requirements' error.
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00036603
  GK / GK
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender customers who specify a max
  size in characters.
  
  Problem Description:
  When the max size was specified in characters, we would stop at
  that max size (even in delimited contexts), and get a delimiter
  error, rather than reporting a length error.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• The code that handles character lengths has been re-written to
  handle this properly.
