Error description
When an ECI call is made to CICS TS using EXCI, the protocol allows for the correct indication of whether data conversion is required. This option needs to be made available for IPIC to allow for migration between the protocols.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users of CTG V7.1 for z/OS. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect data conversion when * * processing an ECI call for CTG v7.1 for * * z/OS via an IPIC connection. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If CTG requests conversion using the default client code page on an ECI call via an IPIC connection into CICS then this is ignored.
Problem conclusion
1. DFHISSR has been amended to check for an input CCSID of ISHH_DEFAULT_CONV, and if this is set to set the issb_ccsid to issb_default_conv. 2. DFHMIRS has been amended to check for a CCSID of issb_default_conv, and if it is set to skip the call to verify the CCSID and convert it to an internally-acceptable manner. 3. DFHMIRS has also been amended to check again for a CCSID of issb_default_conv, and if it is set to not pass an override CCSID to DFHCCNV when data conversion is requested. This results in DFHCCNV using the default client CCSID, as required. . In the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Version 3 Release 2 CICS Supplementary Data Areas manual, GC34-6864, the "ISDCC ISC IP Domain Control Blocks" has been altered as follows: - The Description for ishh_ccsid has been changed to: "client ccsid:' ' for no conv, '-1 ' for default conv" - The comment above the ISHH_NO_CONV constant has been changed to: "ishh_ccsid, required for msg_type=D & conv_state=B, has value: - a 5 digit decimal IBM CCSID supported by dfhcnv or - blanks for no data conversion for e.g DPL commareas or - minus one for the default client code page (CLINTCP) to be used e.g. for when the input CCSID can not be determined" - Details of a new constant has been added after ISHH_NO_CONV as follows: "Len=5 Type=CHARACTER value='-1 ' Name="ISHH_DEFAULT_CONV" Description="use default code page" . The same changes have been made for the "ISMF ISC IP Message Formats" section of the same manual.
