Issue/Introduction

Message TRAC660E MODULE=modname. EXCESSIVE CONCATENATED DATA LENGTH received when /f taskname,JMFVFY was issued.  The variables involved concatenation of previous variables.

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component : JOBTRAC

Resolution

The following message was received when  /f taskname,JMFVFY was issued:

TRAC660E MODULE=GJMFSYN.            EXCESSIVE CONCATENATED DATA LENGTH. 

      

  The variables involved concatenation of previous variables as in example below:

MON=&:OSMM             

DAY=&:OSDD             

YR=&:OSGYYYY  

FULLDATE=&:MON.&:DAY.&:YR         

Concatenation involving dynamic variables must contain the dynamic variable itself and not a value assigned for it.   The correct setup would be as follows 

MON=&:OSMM             

DAY=&:OSDD             

YR=&:OSGYYYY  

FULLDATE=&:OSMM.&:OSDD.&:OSGYYYY 

As always, please contact Broadcom support for Jobtrac Job Management if you have further questions.
