Control containers

The control containers are essential to the operation of the pipeline. Handlers can use the control containers to modify the sequence in which the handlers are processed.

DFHERROR container
DFHERROR is a container of DATATYPE(BIT) that is used to convey information about pipeline errors to other message handlers.
DFHFUNCTION container
DFHFUNCTION is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that contains a 16-character string that indicates where in a pipeline a program is being called.
DFHHTTPMETHOD container
This is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that is available to application programs in all HTTP provider mode CICS pipelines.
DFHHTTPSTATUS container
DFHHTTPSTATUS is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that is used to specify the HTTP status code and status text for a message produced in the response phase of a service provider pipeline.
DFHMEDIATYPE container
DFHMEDIATYPE is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that is used to specify the media type for a message produced in the response phase of a service provider pipeline.
DFHNORESPONSE container
DFHNORESPONSE is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that, in the request phase of a service requester pipeline, indicates that the service provider is not expected to return a response.
DFHREQUEST container
DFHREQUEST is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that contains the request message that is processed in the request phase of a pipeline.
DFHRESPONSE container
DFHRESPONSE is a container of DATATYPE(CHAR) that contains the response message that is processed in the response phase of a pipeline. If the message was constructed by a CICS-supplied SOAP message handler, and has not been changed subsequently, DFHRESPONSE contains a complete SOAP envelope and all its contents in UTF-8 code page.
DFHWS-CCSID container
DFHWS-CCSID is a container of DATATYPE(BIT) that contains a fullword (4 bytes) specifying the CCSID of the data in the response container.
