RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: PROBLEM RECREATION STEPS: Using DBCS environment, enter a situation description exceeding 64bytes. Reopen the situation, and find that the description field has been truncated to 64bytes. PROBLEM RECREATION RESULTS: Descrpition truncated without warning.
Local fix
No workaround available
Problem summary
When creating a new situation and using a double-byte character set such as Japanese or Russian the description field allows for 64 double-byte characters to be typed into the description field. Without any warning the results will be truncated the next time the situation is opened.
Problem conclusion
Added a check so when a double-byte character set is being used the description field will not allow more that 64 bytes of data to be typed into the description field. This new behavior is consistent with the way the description field works with a single-byte character set such as English. The fix for this APAR is included in the following maintenance vehicle: | fix pack | 6.2.1-TIV-ITM-FP0003
