APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Running option 3 in the customization dialog to generate jobs
results in error ISPF145 and the job BBOTMSTR fails.The
following is displayed:
A severe error occurred under dialog:
Application:  W3T
Function:     Command  BBOWFTJ
Service:      FTINCL
Error message ID: ISPF145
.
This happens when the value for CBCONFIG is too long. When the
variable names for CBCONFIG, IV1SCR IV2SCR AND WORKDIR are
shortened the jobs are created correctly.
Local fix
Shorten the variable path names for CBCONFIG,IV1SCR,IV2SCR and
WORKDIR and the jobs will be created correctly. For example
change CBCONFIG,IV1SCR,IV2SCR and WORKDIR from
/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/ccccc/WebSphere390/dddddd to
/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/ccccc/Web390/dddddd
and the jobs will be created.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The WebSphere for z/OS Customization    *
*                      Dialog would result in error while      *
*                      generating BBOTMSTR when the value of   *
*                      mount point is more than 35 characters. *

****************************************************************
The WebSphere for z/OS Customization Dialog would result in
error while generating BBOTMSTR when the value of mount point
is more than 35 characters (i.e
/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/ccccc/WebSphere390/dddddd).

The solution to this problem is to break the following line:
   &CBCONFIG./&SYSPLEX./etc/ldap/
 in BBOTMSTR into two lines.
Problem conclusion
The BBOWMCPT step in skeleton file BBOTMSTR will be changed to
break the following the line
              "&CBCONFIG./&SYSPLEX./etc/ldap/"
into two lines.
The result would look like the following in BBOTMSTR:

)CM PQ69831 start
|           |   &CBCONFIG.
|           |       /&SYSPLEX./etc/ldap/
)CM PQ69831 end

With this, the dialog will be able to successfully generate
BBOTMSTR with mount point having the value of:
/aaaaa/bbbbbbbb/ccccc/WebSphere390/dddddd

APAR PQ69831 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401501 of
