Error description
we want to copy some groups whose names begin with XCIC720 to groups with name YCIC720. We do this by means of utility DFHCSDUP and command COPY GROUP(XCIC720*) TO(YCIC720*). Doing this, we get a RC of 8 and message DFH5260 E LENGTH OF 'TO' SUFFIX MUST BE EQUAL TO LENGTH OF 'GROUP' SUFFIX. When using command COPY GROUP(XCIC72*) TO(YCIC72*) everything works fine.
