OM output user exit parameter list: Command Response change

IMS OM output user exit
Usability enhancement
This exit is called to allow a user to view and manipulate output from OM.
There is a restriction on the OOUX_OUTMDLEN field as follows :-
Modified command output length. The exit must set this field if it modifies the command response output. This field must not be greater than the input command response length passed to this exit. If the exit does not set this field appropriately and does modify the command response output, the modified command response output will not be delivered to the client. Instead, the original command response output will be sent to the client.
Our product,COPE, requires insertion of additional information in messages which can result in output messages that are larger than the input. The parameter SHOW(ALL) can be used to find additional space but if it omitted, additional information has to be truncated.
We require 25 bytes of additional buffer space for every output command line for all displays.
If the input buffer size can be increased by this amount, the requirement will be met.
