Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V4.0 and V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Formatting ctrace data using IPCS may   *
*                      result in raw data displays marked as   *
*                      TRUNCATE and without ascii/ebcdic       *
*                      gutters.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Options are missing in the IPCS macros used to format the
raw trace data.  Without these options the data is displayed
without the ascii/ebcdic translation 'gutters' and the data
is marked 'TRUNCATE'.
Problem conclusion
Added the VIEW('0200'x) keyword to two IPCS macro calls in
module bbortfte.plx which formats our ctrace entries.
