Error description
LIU under IMS Administration Tool adds unnecessary space to the SSID parameter in a JCL for the Export objects function which is generated to decode DBD and PSB in the ACB library or IMS directory when IMS ID has 1-3 character name. If an error occurs during JCL execution, user can re-execute the JCL by deleting the unnecessary space in the SSID parameter.
