  ****************************************************************
  A CICS Event is created by a CICS supplied adapter to
  create a Common Base Event (CBE). The XML created has
  incorrect data in the <cics:networkapplid> field and the
  instanceId attribute.
  These fields are a composite value from network ID and APPLID.
  This has been caused because it incorrectly handles a network
  ID that is less than 8 characters. This problem also applies
  to Common Base Event REST format and Decision Server Insights
  Event (DSIE) format.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHEPAS has been changed to construct the field correctly
  regardless of the length of the Network ID.
