Error description
INVALID_ADDRESS is received on EXEC CICS WEB OPEN if HOST parameter starts with number instead of letters because CICS considers that an IPADDRESS and not as host name. Using Ping all is right and also using cics socket interface . Mapping it in an urimap we get the same error.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WEB OPEN HOST(hostname) may fail with * * NOTFND and RESP2=20. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A WEB OPEN HOST or WEB OPEN URIMAP may fail with a NOTFND and RESP2=20 when the HOST parameter is used and it contains a combination of digits and characters. . The VERIFY routine in DFHSOIS will test the first position of the HOSTNAME parameter and if it is a digit, assumes the entire HOSTNAME is digits and dots. It may contain characters, ( for example: 124.example.com ) when it does, incorrect processing occurs and the NOTFND is returned.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
FIX AVAILABLE BY PTF ONLY
Comments
DFHSOIS has been modified to validate the HOSTNAME parameter contains no characters before treating it as an IP address.
