    ****************************************************************
    Using the CICS Web 3270 Bridge, a request is sent from a browser
    using DFHWBTTA or DFHWBTTB. The CICS transaction sends a map to
    the browser using an HTML template. The transaction then issues
    a receive map and then modifies a field within the map to be
    protected and color CYAN. The map is sent to the browser again.
    When DFHWBBMS builds the output HTML to represent the screen, it
    fails to insert the correct HTML for setting the field to CYAN.
    This can lead to an Abend ABM0 or simply an incorrect display on
    the browser.
    
    Additional Keywords: DFHTURQ TURQUOISE
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHWBBMS has been changed in routine wbbms_build_ads_color to
    insert the correct HTML when the field is to have the CYAN
    attribute.
