  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE returns     *
  *                      incorrect response values.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE is executed which will utilize a
  requester pipeline containing transport handlers. At some point
  in the processing of a transport handler an error occurs.
  During the handling of this error, further problems may be
  encountered, and the error codes for these problems replace
  the original codes.
  The response data now returned to the application is incorrect
  as it does not report the original failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIISC has been altered to ensure response and reason codes
  for the first failure of a transport handler are returned to
  the calling application.
