I recently discovered that the maximum path length for dynamic allocation key 8017 (Unix PATH name) is 255 characters, in spite of the fact that the text unit length field is 16 bits. While most "human generated" path lengths will not be that long, software generated paths can easily exceed that. Anyone who has used npm on Windows knows exactly what I'm talking about, and npm is now being used on z/OS (with node.js).
I have opened an RFE to expand this length; please consider voting for it. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=132716 Thanks! -- Jerry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
