    in length but only 11 characters are being shown.

    CEMT has been defined using a profile with scrnsize(ALTERNATE).

  • Tab down to the program entry and press enter to display the
    detailed screen to view the complete Libraryd field

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When performing a CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM  *
    *                      the library DSN returned appears        *
    *                      truncated.                              *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When performing a CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM on a terminal with an
    alternate screen size specified of 27x132, the library DSN for
    each program returned is truncated to 11 characters rather than
    the specified amount of up to 44 characters.
    DFHEMT55 moves the contents of the second line in the display
    into a temporary buffer, but that buffer is only 80 bytes long,
    resulting in truncation of the display when the data is moved
    to the screen.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changes have been made to DFHEMT55 to correctly pass back the
    full library DSN to the CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM results panel
    preventing data truncation on a 27x132 sized terminal.
