The column length is too short in some Omegamon tables

We use JPA to generate Dynamic SQL in Db2 z/OS. The application ID i sent in the field ClientInfo which helps us to identify the processing. The application ID is often quite long.

Some Omegamon tables have columns that contain data from ClientInfo.   

In SMF-records and in the Omegamon tables xxxx_GENERAL and xxxx_PROGRAM the information is CHAR(255). In the tables  xxxx_DEADLCK and xxxx_TIMEOUT the columns BLOCK_TRANSACT, WAIT_TRANSACT and TRX_NAME are just CHAR(32). To help us identify the causer in locking conflicts these columns have to be the same length as in SMF records.
