KB Article #175932
Is there a variable up to carry more than the 40 chars supported by both MSG1 and MSG2
Problem
--Using MSG1 and MSG2 to carry strings to a remote partner--Using CTRL-M to set the MSG1 and MSG2 with a filename is not that easy when the string come longer than 40 chars long
--Concatenation of MSG1 and MSG2 on the receiver may be an issue especially with trailing spaces.
Resolution
--MSG3 variable is also available and can carry up to 54 chars long--MSG3 and the 54 chars long is enough to deal with z/os filename when resolved by CTRL-M variables
