  ****************************************************************
  Scrolling through the results of a CEDA DISPLAY or EXPAND
  command for a generic group name will cause incorrect
  screen output after more than 32767 matches have been
  returned from the browse of the CSD. This can take the form
  of garbage output, PROG755, or an inability to continue
  scrolling. The use of a halfword to contain a fullword
  count is leading to a corruption of the output tioa.
  The same problem can happen with a generic EXPAND LIST
  or DISPLAY LIST command, provided there are enough
  matches for the generic argument. In practice a generic
  DISPLAY GROUP or LIST will probably only generate enough
  matches to encounter the problem if a generic object is
  also specified (eg CEDA DISPLAY LIST(*) GROUP(*) or
  CEDA DISPLAY GROUP(*) PROGRAM(*)).

Problem conclusion

• DFHESP55 has been altered to ensure that a fullword is used
  to hold the total number of results returned.
