PRTFIL Device Design Generation Succeeds Despite Exceeding Limit by One Character

Products

• CA 2E

Issue/Introduction

When the device design header exceeds limit by 1, for example for 132 column the header size is 133, though there is a warning about design exceeds the device limit at design

Design exceeds device size limits

the COBOL compilation goes without issue but later there is one character missing in the device header.

If the size exceeds the limit by more than one character, compilation fails as expected.

Environment

• CA 2E 8.7.4

Cause

Incorrect implementation of an edge correction value of 1 for PRTFIL device designs specifically when the limit is breached by exactly one character.

Resolution

Open a support case with Broadcom Support. There is a fix for this issue.
