Error description
When the pipeline gets installed DFHPIPL is incorrectly determining the length of the <handler_parameter_list> data to be 0 so it does not create a control block to hold that data. At runtime this means that the DFH-HANDLERPLIST container is empty. . This problem has been fixed by development in CICS 4.1. We will put that fix in to CICS 3.1. . Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): DFH-HANDLERPLIST CONTAINER EMPTY PIPELINE handler_parameter_list
