APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When filling out the ISPF Customization Panels, and entering the
MVS Dataset names, some of the 'input' fields on the panels will
not accept 44 character dataset names.  The field 'Name:' on
Panelid BBOWCFG1, (the name of the Dataset that backs the hfs
for WebSphere) will only accept 34 characters.  The customer has
to adjust the name to fit this input field.
.
All of the dataset name input fields will be reviewed and
changed as necessary to accomodate the 44 character limit.
Local fix
Adjust the dataset name (redue the number of characters) to fit
into the input fields in the ISPF Installation Wizard.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390                   *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some customers require the "WebSphere   *
*                      for z/OS Customization" Dialog to       *
*                      support entering a data set name of     *
*                      more than 38 characters.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The "WebSphere for z/OS Customization" Dialog currently does not
support entering a data set name of more than 38 characters.
A MVS data set name can be up to 44 characters long.  However,
ISPF panel command VER (with the DSNAME option) can only verify
data set names of up to 42 characters in length.  Since the
"WebSphere for z/OS Customization" Dialog uses the VER command
to verify data set names, it can verify up to a max of 42
characters for data set names.  The "WebSphere for z/OS
Customization" Dialog should be modified such that Dialog
panels allow up to a maximum of 42 characters for entering a
data set name.
Problem conclusion
Support has been modified in the "WebSphere for z/OS
Customization" Dialog to allow a max of 42 characters for
entering data set names.

APAR PQ57653 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401053 of
WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.
