PH05180: WEB 3270 BRIDGE - DATA NOT DISPLAYED AFTER MIGRATING TO CICS 5.4

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are migrating from an older version of CICS to CICS 5.4.
  You are testing out your web-3270 bridge application.  In this
  instance, you are running the sample AMNU transaction via the
  bridge.  In the 'Operator Instructions' panel, you enter AINQ',
  NUMBER='000100' and press the ENTER button.
  You expect the 'FILE INQUIRY' result panel, but 'PLEASE ENTER AN
  ACCOUNT NUMBER' message was displayed.
  The above scenario is just an example.
  
  Any 3270 bridge application that utilizes DFHWBTTA may see
  field input data not displayed.
  The problem is related to the codepath that uses HTML
  templates, the DFHWBBMS RECEIVE_MAP processing.  It is
  only processing the first updated input field and ignoring the
  rest.
