Error description

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An EXEC CICS WEB SEND DOCTOKEN command * * fails with INVREQ. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An EXEC CICS WEB SEND DOCTOKEN is issued specifying a zero length document with STATUSCODE(204). This is a "no content" STATUSCODE. The command works at CICS v2r2 but fails at v3r1 with INVREQ and RESP2(72). This is because at v3r1, the DOCTOKEN parameter is no longer valid with STATUSCODEs 204, 205 or 304 whereas at v2r2, DOCTOKEN was a required parameter whatever the STATUSCODE. The result of this is that the application has to be changed between v2r2 and v3r1.
Problem conclusion
DFHEIWB has been changed in web_send_server to check for document content for statuscodes 204, 205 and 304. If there is no document body then the command is treated as though no doctoken had been included.
