(13) Only five decimals fit and the following error is returned: EYUVE0284E Invalid filter value specified. Please enter a valid value for filter type, 'S390 store clock intervals (INTVSTCK)'. .

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM V3R2M0 Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WUI users may receive the following * * error message EYUVE0285E: * * . * * EYUVE0285E Filter value too long. * * Please enter a valid value for filter * * type, 'filtertypedescription'. * * . * * where, 'filtertypedescription' may * * contain descriptions such as: * * . * * 'S390 store clock intervals (INTVSTCK)' * * or * * 'Extended CICS store clock (SCLOCK12)'. * * or * * 'Date and time group (DATETIME)'. * * * * Examination of the WUI's AUXTRACE * * dataset will show an exception with * * debug text of 'BOTOOBIG' and a pointid * * of 9. * * * * Users may also notice that formatted * * filters for task history filter * * attributes are being truncated at 15 * * characters. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the fix for this APAR, all * * MASes which act as a Web User Interface * * (WUI) Server must be recycled to pick up the * * changed code. Note that the restarts do not * * need to occur at the same time. * **************************************************************** A logic error exists in EYU0VODT (VODT - WUI Time/Date Data Formatting Routines) in the routine that checks whether output data will fit into an output buffer, resulting in the reported EYUVE0285E message. A logic error exists in EYU0VE2A (VE2A - WUI EDITOR: edit_view_link_filter_data) in determining the maximum length of an attribute, and a logic error in EYU0VOQA (VOQA - Routines to convert data formats for CPSM WUI) which sets the maximum output length to 15 for date/time attributes, results in filters being truncated at 15 characters.
Problem conclusion
Modified EYU0VE2A with a new routine to determine the maximum length of the attribute. Corrected the logic error in EYU0VODT that was checking whether output data will fit into an output buffer. Modified EYU0VOQA to allow for a maximum output length of 24 for date/time attributes.
