  The problem is that field FIELD# (and many others) were sent
  out with values of all spaces.  The fields were received
  unchanged but the data passed to the application was not
  spaces.  Instead it was as much of the HTML symbol name that
  would fit within the ADS.  The application then does a further
  SEND MAP leaving the FIELD# field value unchanged.  This causes
  what looks like a symbol name to be displayed on the screen.
  .
  Need to investigate DFHWBBMS code to work out why the incorrect
  data was returned to the application on a RECEIVE MAP command.

  A transaction is running using the 3270 web bridge. A SEND MAP
  command is issued for a map containing a field name whose name
  ends in a '#'. The data for that field is all blanks.  When
  the RECEIVE MAP is issued, DFHWBBMS returns part of the HTML
  symbol name for this field ( eg: &F07004001 ) instead of blanks.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBBMS has been modified to return the correct field data for
  fields with names ending in a '#'.
