Processing large HTML templates

No restriction applies to the size of templates used by transactions that run using the 3270 Bridge. However, templates that exceed 32 KB of storage are processed differently from smaller templates.

Attention: This topic contains Product-sensitive Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.

About this task

To process templates larger than 32 KB, you specify a path that maps to a program name of DFHWBTTB in the HTTP request. Refer to URL path components for 3270 display applications.

Templates that require less than 32 KB of storage can expand to greater than 32 KB if symbol substitution significantly increases the amount of data.

When the template is generated, DFHWBTLG issues a message containing the amount of storage required for each template to be read from the DFHHTML data set. Use these messages to determine whether to use a program name of DFHWBTTA or DFHWBTTB.
