PH51999: RATIONAL PROGRAMMING PATTERN 9.7.2 : WHEN APPLYING NEW GENERATION TO A PACSCREEN, SECTION NAME DISAPPEARS

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In RPP 9.7.2, when applying the new generation to a
  pacscreen, section name sometime disappears.
  This happens when Xnn micro pattern identifiers are
  longer than 2 characters.
  
  Due to pacbase compatibility, the characters just after
  the X in the identifier of the Xnn micro pattern, is limited
  to 2 characters only.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users of Xnn micro pattern, "nn" can be 2 characters         *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Micro pattern Xnn can be used with only 2 characters after   *
  * the X. It was a Pacbase limitation. In RPP, in the previous  *
  * versions (before the new micro pattern syntax) it was        *
  * possible to type more than 2 characters after the X and it   *
  * worked. When we developed the new syntax, we aligned it with *
  * the Pacbase limitations but some customers used this micro   *
  * pattern with more than 2 characters. That's why we introduce *
  * the capability to use 2 or 3 characters in the micro pattern *
  * call                                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
