PK45064: DFHWS2LS ENFORCES 22 CHARACTER LIMIT ON LANGUAGE VARIABLE NAMES.VARIABLES NON-UNIQUE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DFHWS2LS utility currently truncates variable names at 22
  characters. This limit was implemented because of the
  restriction in COBOL.  However, since in C it is possible to
  have a structure name greater than 22 characters, the rules in
  DFHWS2LS need to be relaxed.

  ****************************************************************
  DFHWS2LS is run to create a language structure for C or C++
  against a WSDL file containing an xml element with varying
  cardinality; that is, an xsd:element with minOccurs and/or
  maxOccurs specified. DFHWS2LS truncates the element names
  at 22 characters, so if the names are not unique within
  the first 22 characters then duplicate names are generated.
  This results in compiler errors when the structure is
  included in a program.

Problem conclusion

• MakeC.java has been changed in getContainerFieldName and
  getContainerOccurencesFieldName, to increase the allowed name
  length within xml elements with varying cardinality to 45.
