File truncation warning

The System z® LPEX Editor, COBOL Editor, JCL Editor, and PL/I Editor provide a file truncation warning when you attempt to save a remote file that contains lines that exceed the file's record length limit.

Whenever you save a file in the System z LPEX Editor, COBOL Editor, JCL Editor, or PL/I Editor, it checks for any lines that exceed the record length limit. If any lines exceed the limit, a window opens warning you that these lines are truncated when the file is saved. Click Yes to continue with the file save operation or No to return to the editor to fix the lines in question. The editor positions the file at the first line that exceeds the record length limit.

To quickly find lines that exceed the record-length limit, you can enable the visual indicator for record boundary. For more information about this preference, see the related topics.
