Error description
DFSISTS0 SYM OUTPUT LENgth is incorrect when symbolic terminal name control statement is specified as SYM NAME=(NSX003D1,,O,ALL) . ex:DFSISTS0 report OUTPUT SEG=001 LEN 1584 But the LEN 1584 was incorrect, the correct message text was 1580 length in IMS 03 log. it was due to adding 4 bytes (MSGXDLEN+MSGXFLG1+MSGXFLG2) for the pure message length. The problem was exposed when the DFSISTS report was compared IMS V9 with IMS V11.
