PK41703: INCORRECT OUTPUT FROM DFHWS2LS DUE TO FORCING DOUBLE WORD ALIGNMENT. APPLICATION GETS INCORRECT DATA ACCESSING FIELD.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have ran DFHWS2LS against a wsdl file.   When your
  application references a generated structure in this, it
  receives incorrect data.
  There is a problem in DFHWS2LS where it thinks that the
  structure in questions should be double word aligned rather
  than full word aligned.

  ****************************************************************
  DFHWS2LS attempts to correctly align the fields in the
  generated structure, depending on the field type.
  Variable-repeating fields do not affect the overall structure's
  alignment as they are stored in a separate container. However
  this was ignored which lead to the overall container's alignment
  being calculated incorrectly due to basing the structure's
  alignment on the variable-repeating field. This produced
  incorrect offsets in both the C and C++ generated language
  structures.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWS2LS has been updated to correctly align the generated
  structure when it contains variable-repeating fields.
