    The RESPONSE-DATA-STRUCTURE is not generated correctly when the

    INPUT_STRUCTURE_TOO_SMALL is issued when the webservice is run
    in CICS.

    ****************************************************************
    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.

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.
