Well, you can turn on the "hex dump all packets option" for trapd, so that
he runs with the -x option, and then toggle the trace on and off from the
command line with "trapd -T". The trapd.trace will show the full packet as
received and you should be able to tell from that whether it is all being
received.
But not knowing anything else about this trap, there are buffer limitations
in what gets displayed and in order to prevent a core, if the full
formatted trap would exceed the buffer then it would be truncated. So if
the trace shows the full packet is arriving, then tray formatting just that
variable and see if what you get is any better.
And open a problem to support if you need help with this. All we can do
here is make suggestions.

This is in Netview AIX. The trap is truncated in the event display and the
trapd.log. It is being assumed that Ciscoworks is sending the full value.
Ciscoworks is directly mailing the network admin and the full string is
there.

Depends on where this occurs. NetView for UNIX or Windows?
Truncating it where? In the Event display? In trapd.log? In TEC?
249 is an odd number. The maximum length of a varbind that trapd will
support in this version is 512 characters, and I have tested this many
times. But it makes a difference where and how the results are displayed.

I am implementing the CISCO-EPM-NOTIFICATION-MIB and field
cenAlarmDescription (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.311.1.1.2.1.16249) contains for than
249 characters. Netview is truncating this field. Is there a setting I can
change to prevent this?
