PK84257: NEED FOR SNA-CICSMACRO-SCREEN FIELD LARGER THAN 80 CHARACTERS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is a need for the Service Flow Feature
  sna-cicsmacro-screen field to allow input greater than 80
  characters. This APAR has been taken to pursue this
  possibility.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS SFR users.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Transaction identifier plus any user    *
  *                      data is capped at 80 bytes.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In the context of SFF (Service Flow Feature), the data to
  prime SNA-CICSMACRO-SCREEN can be described as a 'start up
  string' and the SFM (Service Flow Modeller) can define a
  'start up string' (for example a transaction identifier plus
  user data) in excess of 80 bytes. However, when this field is
  presented to the SFR (Service Flow Runtime), the data is
  truncated at 80 bytes because SNA-CICSMACRO-SCREEN is declared
  as 80 bytes long.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHMAVCP has been modified. The length of a 'start up string'
  is no longer capped at 80 bytes. To exploit this you will also
  require the appropriate level of RD/z code.
