****************************************************************
A web service is active in CICS using the UTF-16 support.  A
message is sent from this web service containing a lowercase
thorn character (x'00FE').  DFHPIII checks the data for special
characters.  It detects the x'FE' byte and incorrectly decides
that it is a unicode byte order mark (BOM).  Message DFHPI1010
gets issued and the XML generation fails.

The same problem also exists for JSON web services.

Additional Keywords. msgDFHPI1010

Problem conclusion

  • DFHPIII and DFHPIJG have been changed to ignore the x'FE' within
UTF-16 application data when generating an XML or JSON message.

Temporary fix
