Out of interest I had a look at what this is all about, and I must admit I'm 
baffled. What does that solution help? More, I'm baffled the new behaviour was 
accepted as an APARable problem.


Writing beyond the end of a table overwrites something, be that the index-name 
or some other data. And it may lead to abnormal ends (the more lucky case), or 
worst, wrong data to be processed without even recognizing this fact. It is one 
of the most problematic coding error, IMHO.


So, the PTF will not fix anything in my opinion. It will revert to the previous 
way of how tables are handled by the compiler, yes, but that's it.
