Error description

  • In the below two scenarios:
    
    1) Retrieving CSD information via batch DFHCSDUP,
    2) Retrieving CSD information via AD agent, with online call to
       DFHCSDUP, and reply data formatted by the AD agent exit code
       before sending back to AD configuration.
    
    
    The layout of the CSD information is *DIFFERENT* for each method
    
    - The AD agent *DOES NOT* break the description field into 2
    records. It also removes the parentheses entirely.
    
    - DFHCSDUP called through batch *CAN* break the description
    field into 2 records - this is normal behaviour if the
    description text is longer than 55 bytes and so this needs to
    be handled by the parser.
    
    
    I assume that AD on Windows can handle both formats, but it
    appears that the java parser for stand-alone CSD file might
    need some modification to handle long description fields.
