All, I'm not sure this is the cause, as I'm not sure where you are coming from, but we did have a "missed" upgrade action which occurred in z/OS V2.4 with PTFs. Might be worth a quick verification to see if this is the cause. We are working on putting this in the z/OS Upgrade Workflow refresh.
I'll put the reduced information here, in case it helps: ======================================== When change was introduced: V2.4 with APARs OA60605 and OA60528. Applies to upgrade from: V2.3, and V2.4 without APARs OA60605 and OA60528 Is this upgrade action required: Yes, you need to review your printing product to determine if it is performing blank truncation in accordance with what you require. Target system hardware requirements: None. Target system software requirements: Printing products maybe be affected. Review your print products or applications to determine if they require configuration changes to truncate blanks or not truncate blanks as you desire. IBM Print Services Facility (PSF) , Download for z/OS, and AFP Download Plus are affected IBM products. Steps to take: Review the your print products and applications to determine whether or not you have a dependency on truncation of blanks. Ensure that your print products or applications are configured properly to accommodate your requirements to truncate blank or not truncate blanks.
