Error description

  • Customer is running the following CARLa (in CO.2), and
    generating a report that extends out to column 301.  Browsing
    the output on the results screen shows the entire output, but
    when "M" is placed to email the output as an attachment, the
    generated email truncates the columns somewhere past the
    ABS_PATHNAME(255)
    

Local fix

  • Run CARLa in batch, with OPTION settings for email.

    lines, the report mailing function provided by the 'RESULTS'
    screen (ISPF panel CKRP3RES, action character 'M' (E-mail
    report), truncates these lines after 255 characters, so that the
    report arrives incomplete at the e-mail destination.

  • zSecure Audit/Admin has been modified, so that the report
    mailing function provided by the 'RESULTS' screen does not
    truncate long lines after 255 characters anymore.
