  A multipart message uses a boundary delimiter to separate the
  individual parts.  CICS incorrectly modifies this delimiter for
  processing.  This modification may affect input from browsers,
  and cause an AEXZ abend.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBRQF has been modified so as not to uppercase the
  boundary delimiter on a multipart message.
