Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A web service response with a UTF16 * * character x'00FE' in the payload gets * * DFHPI1010 message issued and the XML * * generation fails. * **************************************************************** 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.
