Happens to me as well. My first, second and last names are quite short, five letters each. So my guess is that’s it’s related to that.

Maybe there’s simply the COBOL equivalent of the following somewhere:

  if len(first) + len(second) + len(last) <= MAX_LEN_ON_TICKET:
    first_name_on_ticket = first + second
