SAP AL- IBM Common store: Incomplete url returned by FM 'SCMS_DOC_URL_READ'

Question

We are calling standard FM SCMS_DOC_URL_READ from a program started in the SAP GUI in order to retrieve the URL for an image stored in our document archive of type IBM Common store (HTTP communication via the Archive Link inteface). 
When calling the FM with the parameters defined below, the returned value (url) is too short; the returned security key in the url has been cut off.
(The returned parameter lv_url is defined as CHAR 4096, so it should be long enough.)
The connection to the archive is working fine. Images kan be displayed via OAAD, so there is no communication problem between SAP and the IBM archive.
The same source code is used successfully in another installation of rel 4.6C with an integration to a SAP HTTP content server.
The only adjustments we have made for this installation integrated with IBM common store are :
- value of “comp_id” was set to space
- value of “force_get” was set to ‘X’. 
The call to FM SCMS_DOC_URL_READ is defined as follows:
DATA:   lv_url TYPE SAPB-URI,       “char4096
Get URL.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_DOC_URL_READ'
           EXPORTING
               stor_cat             = space
               crep_id              = iv_archiv_id
               doc_id               = iv_archiv_doc_id
               comp_id            = space
               security             = 'F'
               http_url_only      = 'X'
               force_get           = 'X'
           IMPORTING
                url                  = lv_url               " char 4096
           EXCEPTIONS
                error_config                = 1
                error_parameter          = 2
                error_signature           = 3
                http_not_supported     = 4
                docget_not_supported = 5
                not_accessable          = 6
                data_provider_error      = 7
                tree_not_supported     = 8
                not_supported            = 9
                OTHERS                   = 10
When analyzing the result of this FM call we can see that the returned value (url) has been cut off; i.e the security key in the returned url is not complete.
The expected result was a complete url including a complete security key.
The actual result was an url with a cutted secKey, see below:
(server id of the IBM common store archive was replaced with “xxxxxx” in the url below).
http://xxxxx:5590/cs?get&pVersion=0046&contRep=T1&docId=47A5A913D5EC00EBE10080000A14B620&accessMode=r&authId=CN%3DTST,OU%3DSAPWebAS,O%3DSAPTrustCommunity,C%3DDE&expiration=20080313203953&secKey=MIIBNAYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIBJTCCASECAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGS
Any ideas on why the complete length of the security key is not returned in the url?
// Kind regards
