Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When CICS translates a WSDL to Cobol Copybook using DFHWS2LS at
  Mapping Level 2.2 or higher it fails to translate substitution
  groups with recurring structural content.  The substitution
  group fields in the language structure passed to the application
  are not being filled in correctly.

  ****************************************************************
  DFHWS2LS is used to process a WSDL document that contains
  a recurring substitutable XML element with complex
  content. In this scenario the generated WSBind file
  contains errors such that the CICS XML transform routines
  generate invalid data. the field to represent the
  occurrence information is missing from the generated data,
  and the remaining data is not at the expected offsets.
  Problems only occur at mapping level 2.2 onwards.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWS2LS is changed to fix the algorithmic error in the
  generation of WSBind files. Any affected WSBind file will
  need regenerating following application of the APAR.
