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.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Using DFHCSDUP to copy generic groups   *
    *                      may give message DFH5260 E LENGTH OF    *

    *                      'GROUP' SUFFIX.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    When using DFHCSDUP to copy generic groups, if the generic
    indicator (*) is in position 8 of the group name then
    DFHCSDUP will fail with DFH5260 E LENGTH OF
    'TO' SUFFIX MUST BE EQUAL TO LENGTH OF 'GROUP' SUFFIX, because
    the code incorrectly calculates the length of the 'TO' and
    'GROUP' suffixes.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHCUCOG has been changed to correctly calculate the 'TO' suffix
    and the 'GROUP' suffix when the generic indicator is in position
    8 of the group name,
