  DFHISIC, DFHSOAD and DFHWBUR are called to process the install
  of an IPCONN, TCPIPSERVICE and URIMAP respectively.
  
  All 3 modules rely on a bit ( cipher_list_reduced )
  to determine if Cipher warning message DFHAM4917 is issued (eg):
                                                                 .
  W IPCONN <name> was installed with a reduced set of CIPHER
  codes.
                                                                 .
  However, bit cipher_list_reduced is uninitialised and may
  contain residual data.  When this occurs, the above message
  can be issued in error.

Problem conclusion

• DFHISIC, DFHSOAD and DFHWBUR have been modified to
  initialise cipher_list_reduced.
