An application program that uses the SMP/E Alias Record Type 0 (A0) library change record may need to be updated to handle alias and link values of up to 1023 characters to avoid truncating data. For more information about this change, see the topic on Library Change File Records in SMP/E for z/OS Reference.

An application program that uses the GIMAPI to query the LINK subentry of a hierarchical file system element entry or the LMODALIAS subentry of an LMOD entry may need to be updated to allow for the longer length of these subentries. For more information about this change, refer to the description of these subentries in the GIMAPI topic in SMP/E for z/OS Reference.
