PM11840: DB2 AUTOMATION TOOL GENERATED UTILITY ID TRUNCATED TO 16 CHARACTERS, WHEN JOBNAME AND STEPNAME ARE BOTH 8 CHARACTERS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Utility ID that is allowed currently by DB2 can be upto 16
  characters. This causes its truncation in the Automation Tool
  V3.1 generated JCL  when the ' Prefix Utility ID with jobname'
  is set to 'B' in the job generations panel and when the jobname
  and step name are 8 characters each.
  
  The current format is JOBSNAME.STEPNAME.
  
  This APAR will change the Utility ID that is generated to
  JOBSNAMESTEPNAME by removing the period (.) between the two when
  both jobname and stepname are 8 characters each.
