After applying PTF, API job is not returning full element name

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

Recently applied PTF LU15431 and now the API job that performs a List element is only returning 3 characters for elements.  For example: 

Before PTF: 

ALELB_RS_ELEMENT= ELEMENT8
ALELB_RS_ELMNAME=ELEMENT8
ALELM_RS Record

After PTF:

ALELB_RS_ELEMENT= ELEMENT8
ALELB_RS_ELMNAME=ELE
ALELM_RS Record

 

Environment

All Supported Releases

Resolution

LU15431 (18.1) and LU15432 (19.0) installs updated Copybook members into the CSIQOPTN library:  

ENHAARC#

ENHALELM

ENHALPKG 

 

If you have an Endevor Exit or API program that uses any of these copybooks,  you must recompile and link these programs to ensure ensure proper execution. 

Additional Information

The holddata that has been created to address problems as noted above is not included in PTFS that deliever changes to the any of the copybooks/macros delivered in the CSIQOPTN:
