  3270 Web Bridge is being used with customized document
  templates. There is a field FIELD1 in the map defined as DRK,
  PRTO and FSET.
  
  A SEND MAP command is issued which generates a hidden input
  field because FIELD1 is DRK and PROT.
  
  The next SEND MAP command is issued with DATAONLY. A new value
  is supplied for FIELD1 without changing the field attributes.
  Code in DFHWBBMS means that a hidden input
  field is generated for FIELD1 because it is defined as PROT
  and FSET. Because there is already a hidden input field for
  FIELD1 in the document template, the code in DFHWBBMS
  corrupts the existing hidden input field such as that shown
  below:
  
  <input type="hidden" name="FFFFFFFFFF_NNNNN" value="VALUE:
  <input type="hidden" name="FFFFFFFFFF_NNNNN" value="VALUE:">">
  
  Keyword: DFHWBTTB
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBBMS is changed so that when a field is defined as DRK,
  PROT and FSET, the code in DFHWBBMS is bypassed. This
  prevents the code corrupting the existing hidden input field
  in the document template.
