Data truncation in 3.2
Ray, Ian
I keep getting this in 3.2:
ISPV006
Data truncation occurred
Data for CHAR format variable "TYP1" was too long.
Panel line where error was detected:
ZSEL = PGM(ISRUDA) PARM(ISRUDA2) SCRNAME(DSUTIL)
Enter HELP command for further information regarding this error.
Press ENTER key to terminate the dialog.
Sometimes when I go into Edit, I see a strange value in the TYPE ===> field:
"PAS(ON)", which looks like the point-and-shoot spec for some panel variable
or other.
Just wondering whether it's a local problem, or if anyone else is suffering.
And wondering why 3.2 is upset, but the Edit Entry panel seems to cope with
it.
TIA,
Ian

My guess is that you have used variable TYP1 somewhere in one of your own
dialogs and given it a value longer than 8-characters.
I tried the following and then 3.2 displayed the symptoms you described.
/* REXX */
typ1 = 'HORSEFEATHERS'
Address ISPEXEC "VPUT TYP1"
but when I changed my exec to:
/* REXX */
typ1 = 'PENGUINS'
Address ISPEXEC "VPUT TYP1"
it worked.

Do you have another application that does VCOPY from a pgm? I've seen this
many times when program fail to reset the return length between successive
VCOPY operations and the returned length is greater than the previous
setting of the length field.
LOL

I think the culprit is the Connect:Direct ISPF interface (CDIUI).

I´m writing a REXX, within it I need to show the user a list of datasets
which match a given pattern and let him/her to select one of them for
further processing. Is it possible to be achieved without developing a
custom panel? It is easy to do with PDSs using LMMDISP with OPTION(GET), but
I can´t find how to do it with plain datasets. Any sugestion will be
appreciated a lot.
Thank you in advance

You can display a list of data sets that match a pattern using LMDDISP.
However, there is no way to control what happens to data sets in the list
once they're displayed (e.g. if the user selects one to edit, you won't know
about it). One way around this is if you display the list on your own panel
that has an instruction at the top such as "Enter XYZ next to any data set
you wish to select". You then create a utility called XYZ and that utility
will be called if the user does as they were instructed. The other option is
to use the LMDLIST service to get a list of all the data sets that match a
pattern and display them on your own panel (e.g. load them into an ISPF
table). That way, you'll have full control over what happens to any of the
data sets when they're selected from the list. HTH,

I think I will follow the second way, ISPF tables will be my solution. It
seems to give me more control over the users answers, and additionally I
wouldn't need to maintain two programs, the one that I´m writing and the
auxiliary XYZ.
Thanks to you and all the other guys who have answered.
