  ****************************************************************
  DFHWS2LS is used to generate a WSBIND file from a WSDL using
  input parameter CCSID=1026.
  The WSDL contains a SOAPACTION for a SOAP operation. This
  SOAPACTION gets added to the WSBIND file surrounded by
  double-quotes represented by US EBCDIC (codepage 037) -
  hexadecimal 7F.
  .
  DFHPIIW extracts this SOAPACTION from the WSBIND when an
  application issues EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE.
  The SOAPACTION gets written to the DFHWS-SOAPACTION container
  using CCSID 1026 even though the SOAPACTION is in CCSID 037.
  CCSID 1026 represents double quotes using hexadecimal FC instead
  of 7F. The SOAPACTION eventually gets converted from CCSID 1026
  to ISO-8859-1 but the double quote characters end up as garbage.
  The remote server rejects the request with a SOAPFAULT.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

• FIX AVAILABLE BY PTF ONLY
  

Comments

• DFHPIIW has been changed to detect if the CCSID of the
  SOAPACTION is 037 and use this when writing to the
  DFHWS-SOAPACTION container.
