Error description

  • You are using the CICS 3270Bridge and some BMS maps are not
    displaying properly when using DFHWBTTA (or DFHWBTTB).  For
    example, you may see field names or variable names displayed
    on the Web browser such as:
      <input type= " onFocus=dfhinqcursor('F010010001_MY-FIELD-
      VARIABLE-INDEX.7')" size="1"
    .
    CICS module DFHWBBMS is in error and the problem may be seen
    if the following is done:
      - Field in the map defined as PROT,FSET.
      - SEND MAP issued changing the field attribute to UNPROT.
      - SEND MAP DATAONLY without specifying an attribute for the
        field.
      .
      In this case the field should remain unprotected and
      DFHWBBMS handles that correctly, however code to add an
      HTML hidden field (used for protected fields with MDT on)
      is invalidly driven and that creates the extra HTML that
      corrupts the output.
    

Local fix

  • Use DFHWBTTC to dynamically generate the output for the Web
    browser.  This is the preferred method if you do not require
    heavy customization of the BMS map html templates.

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Utilising the 3270 Web Bridge facility with DFHWBTTA or DFHWBTTB
    a map containing a protected MDT field is dynamically altered to
    unprotected MDT. A send map is issued followed by a receive map
    and then a send map with dataonly. This causes incorrect data to
    be displayed on the browser because the PROT MDT setting is
    being picked up from the map and a hidden field generated. With
    dataonly there should be nothing picked up from the map.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHWBBMS has been changed to only set the PROT/MDT from the map
    if dataonly has not been specified.
