Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Multiple EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE          *
    *                      NOTRUNCATE commands return incorrect    *
    *                      output, or result in DFHWB0001          *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE NOTRUNCATE commands are issued in order to
    receive parts of the input data from the WEB. Each subsequent
    command should receive the next chunk of data up to the length
    specified on the command, as long as there is data left. Only
    the first of such commands actually returns the correct data.
    This is because DFHWBAP fails to retain the address of the
    web message body between commands.
    
    On second and subsequent commands, the pointer which addresses
    the message body (scan_ptr) may still be valid or may address
    any area of storage depending on how DFHWBAP's stack storage
    has been reused or not since the last EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE
    NOTRUNCATE.
    
    This means that the second and subsequent commands return
    incorrect data or cause the abend.

Problem conclusion

  • The DFHWBAP procedure wbrq_proc_get_message_body has been
    changed to save the address of the temporary data buffer within
    the WRB using wrb_current_ptr. This is then used to determine
    what data to return to the application on subsequent EXEC CICS
    WEB RECEIVE NOTRUNCATE commands.
