Error description
WebSphere Host On Demand 11.0.5 With Hebrew codepage in reversed screen, invoking of URL fails with the following exception: Description: There is an issue in CICS specific from Bidi perspective - the host application can make screen RTL an loading (before an end-user performed a screen reverse). For 5250 session such a functionality is provided by RTLB screen property, but we were not aware about such a case in 3270 session. In the customer case, the screen is RTL, but it is not reversed, therefore the necessary support does not work - either for URL that appears left-to-right in the screen, and one that appears right-to-left in the screen.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: BIDI Host on-Demand users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A java exception is thrown when * * clicking a URL hotspot on a session * * RTL screen. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** URL hotspot on RTL screen (screen after reverse is performed) is reversed back in a display to look as a correct URL. Howerver the browser received a string as it would look in reverse PS without the extra reverse. It should be reversed before the browser opens it. The issue was that URL had to be recognized as being reversed in the display, but that was missed in this case.
Problem conclusion
Code was modified to recognize this exception before sending it to the browser. Fix is in HOD 11.0.6 Refresh Pack
Temporary fix
