* USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHWS2LS and DFHSC2LS incorrectly add   *
*                      'X' at the end of level88 field names   *
*                      in COBOL language structures.           *
*                                                              *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
DFHWS2LS and DFHSC2LS are called to generate COBOL language
structures. You find that all the level88 names are incorrectly
suffixed with 'X' at the end. This is because all level88 names
were suffixed with one space at the end for alignment issue.
When PM37166 added the validation on level88 names, the
validation treated this space as invalid and replaced it with
an 'X'.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • UK70146 UK70901 UK70894

DFHWS2LS and DFHSC2LS are changed so that no 'X' is suffixed to
level88 field names in COBOL language structures.
