PK11745: EXEC CICS WEB CONVERSE NOT ALLOWING ACCESS TO MEDIATYPE VARIABLE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The MEDIATYPE keyword is not being defined as REF SET in
  DFHEITAB. This means that CEDF does not recognize that MEDIATYPE
  is an output variable (KESET) and so it makes a copy of the
  parameter, which is updated instead of the area pointed to by
  the applications parameter list.

  ****************************************************************
  An application is running with EDF active and invokes an EXEC
  CICS WEB CONVERSE command with keyword MEDIATYPE specified.
  After the command completes EDF shows the MEDIATYPE value to
  have been updated. However, the application variable has not
  been updated. This is because MEDIATYPE has been defined
  within CICS as being an input field only which results in the
  original MEDIATYPE value being copied by EDF and only the
  copied value is being updated.
  
  Additional Keywords: CEDF KEREF DFHEDFCC KWCOP CEDX
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHEITAB WEB CONVERSE definition for MEDIATYPE has been changed
  to REF SET so the keyword is treated as both an input and output
  field.
