ADATA type 0030 records (Source Analysis Records) are truncating source code images

When a macro generates a source image, it replaces the image's 8-character sequence number field with an 11 character string, thus producing a record that is 83 characters long. Then when that image is displayed within //SYSPRINT, it is fully displayed (including the excess 3 characters). So far, so good. However, the image of that record within an ADATA 0030 record is truncated to only 80 characters. The last three characters are dropped. Our product (z/XDC) uses 0030 records to recreate listing-like displays of code located in memory. One of our customers has complained that z/XDC's displays differ from the //SYSPRINT displays due to the omission of the images excess 3 characters. I would propose that type 0030 records be changed to include the complete source image even for those images that are in excess of 80 characters.
