Error description
This is the same as apar PQ27891. The DFHWBTL (WBTL_ADD_HTML_SYMBOLS) seems to be limited to contain only up to 255 bytes. E.g. &MYTITLE=XX------XX where XX------XX may only be up to 255 characters. Problem only occurs when the symbol value exceeds 256 bytes.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Adding a symbol with a value greater * * than 256 characters results in the * * value being set as the remaining * * symbol list. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** While processing an EXEC CICS DOCUMENT CREATE command, DFHDHSL was called to add or change symbols to a symbol list that contained two or more symbols. One of the symbols associated value was greater than 256 characters. DFHDHSL incorrectly appended the remaining symbol list to the value of this symbol. The problem may also occur when the CICS Web Interface Template Manager DFHWBTL invokes the same function An additional problem fixed by this apar is as follows: When the document domain manager GETMAINs storage for the symbol table block subpool the element length is defined as being fixed, with a maximum length of 8192 bytes. If a symbol is greater than 8192 bytes, then when it is copied into the table a storage overlay occurs, leading to unpredictable results, such as an 0C4 from DFHSMGF, or error message DFHDH0001 with abend 0C4.

Problem conclusion
DFHDHSL has been changed to correctly process symbols with associated values greater than 256 characters. DFHDHDM has been altered so that the symbol table block subpool has variable length elements.
