PM49937: RECEIVING DFHPI0914 WEBSERVICE WEBSERVICE.NAME IS UNUSABLE BECAUSE: THE WSBIND FILE IS CORRUPT USING 11/10/13 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This problem is due to a regression introduced by APAR PM37510.
  It only effects XML-ONLY WSBind Files and is only regressed at
  CICS TS V4.1.  PM37510 added some code to validate pointers
  within the WSBind Files that can get corrupted if FTP'd in TEXT
  mode, however, XML-ONLY WSBind Files have a different internal
  structure and PM37510 didn't take this special case variation
  into account.
