Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The DFHHTTPSTATUS container contents    *
  *                      are incorrect if its contents are       *
  *                      too long.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  If an application puts more than 45 characters of data into the
  DFHHTTPSTATUS container then CICS ignores that data and returns
  "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" to the client instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIIS has been changed to truncate the application data to
  45 characters.
  The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS
  Version 5 Release 2 Web Services Guide SC34-7301-00
  Chapter 6. "Creating the web services infrastructure",
  will be updated in the section "Control containers"
  to include the sentence:
  "If the container contains more than 45 bytes of data
  then CICS sends 45 bytes and ignores the remaining data."
  after the paragraph which begins:
  "The DFHHTTPSTATUS container is ignored.."
  The same change will be made to the Version 5 Release 3
  manual SC34-7452-00.
