Error description
DFHWS2LS is used to create a COBOL language structure. The The RESPONSE-DATA-STRUCTURE is not generated correctly when the associated wsdl contains FILLERs. Message DFHPI1008 indicating INPUT_STRUCTURE_TOO_SMALL is issued when the webservice is run in CICS. Problem is reproduced with Mapping level 1.2 (CICS 3.1) and 2.0 (CICS 3.2) ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: KIXREVRJL
Local fix
This customer was able to work around the problem by commenting out the last filler.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message DFHPI1008 * * INPUT_STRUCTURE_TOO_SMALL issued when * * a COBOL Web Service provider * * application's response contains FILLER * * fields. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A COBOL Web Service provider application returns a response mapped to a copybook similar to this: 01 RESPONSE-DATA-AREA. 05 RESP-ARRAY2 OCCURS 5 TIMES. 10 RESP-ARR21 PIC X(5). 10 RESP-ARR22 PIC X(2). 10 RESP-ARR23 PIC 9(3). 05 FILLER PIC X(10). When DFHLS2WS processed this copybook to produce a WSBIND file, it incorrectly processed the FILLER field as part of the preceding structure. This causes the total data length that CICS is expecting from the application to be larger than it should be. This is deleted at runtime by DFHPIII and message DFHPI1008 INPUT_STRUCTURE_TOO_SMALL is issued. The same problem can occur using fields that have been selectively suppressed with RD/z. Additional Keywords: RDz LS2WS msgDFHPI1008 PI1008
Problem conclusion
The CICS Web Services assistants have been updated to not process suppressed fields (such as FILLER fields) as part of the preceding element level, but to process them at the level the suppressed field was declared at.
