Recently CICS was upgraded to 3.2 version. After this upgrade we found a problem in printing documents from CICS region. The CICS region gets the contents to be printed from Natural region and writes in TD QUEUE. I have stated the whole program below. I expedited the program online and it was throwing LENGERR. When I reduce the Length of the content to be written in WRITE TD QUEUE command, it gets printed partially. Could you please help me what has gone wrong. Is it related the version upgrade ? If so how to solve it.

What is the value of QUEUE-LENGTH when the WRITEQ TD is issued and causing the message-truncation?

| Value is 4294. It is printing just 2 pages of document. When I make it to 3000 it works fine. Before the upgrade we were able to print. |

First of all, this irriates my OL' mainframe mindset.

Mainframers normally do not use the "THROW" terminology introduced by a bunch of JAVA heads. Mainframers either "display", "return", or "post" responses.

talk to your CICS support group. Since your are writing to a TDQ,
that is invoking a print process, then I would assume there is trigger
Transaction that is reading the Q and performing the actual print.
I'm guessing that for whatever reason, the maximum size of
the defined TDQ record length has been changed or the Print transaction
itself does not like TDQ records longer than 3000 bytes. |

Hi Earl,
Thanks for your response ! BTW, I have worked on VB, Java and now working in mainframe. That is the reason I used the word "Throwing an error" 
Thanks,

Hi
The problem is in the recordsize parameter of the TDQ, check with your CICS system programmer
