PI10923: CICSREQUEST NODE DOES NOT USE DEFAULT PARSER OPTIONS FOR UNKNOWN CONTAINERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When making a request to a CICS program using the CICSRequest
  node which returns a channel data structure you can
  configure the names of containers and choose the message
  parsing options. If the name of the container is not specified
  then it should use the default parsing options specified on the
  node or pickup any overrides specified in the LocalEnvironment.
  At the moment when a container is not specified the CICSRequest
  node defaults to using the BLOB domain to parse the container.

  CICS program.
