Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - 8.5.1: Debug Tool does
  not display the correct content of memory using EBCDIC format
  
  ***************************************************************
  Under RDz 8.5.1, running Debug Tool version 12.1 and using
  code page 277, the content in the memory view is truncated
  using EBCDIC format. This depends of the length of
  the string.
  
  ***************************************************************
  Local fix:
  Because of problem with the calculation of column width:
  - Expand the column width
  or
  - Use the Hex and Char mixed view (then right click and click
  on Text --? EBCDIC to get the EBCDIC rendering). This view will
  show the full contents because it isn't broken down into table
  cells.
