  The abend is actually in the java component running on USS.
  
  From the message, is seems it is trying to parse an empty input
  string.
  

Local fix

• In the meantime the bypass is to use 6 characters or less for
  the structure names ie change:
  
  STRUCTURE=(Request,Response)
  to
  STRUCTURE=(Req,Resp)

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Structure names above 6 characters in   *
  *                      DFHWS2LS lead to DFHPI9558E and         *
  *                      DFHPI9500E errors                       *
  ****************************************************************
  When a DFHWS2LS job is given a STRUCTURE request or response
  value which is over 6 characters long the job will fail with a
  return code 12 and the following errors:
  
  DFHPI9500E An internal error has occurred. Please contact
  IBM Support.
  DFHPI9558E ERRORS have been generated processing file
  "/u/userid/example/example.wsdl".

• DFHWS2LS has been updated so that if a STRUCTURE name is
  provided which is greater than 6 characters in length the
  java.lang.NumberFormatException will not occur.
