Error description

  • EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE SET can return incorrect data when the
received data is in a non-SBCS CCSID and conversion has been
requested.

The EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE command may also return LENGERR with
RESP2=57 which indicates the body is truncated.

Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users                               *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WEB RECEIVE returns LENGERR with        *
*                      RESP2=36                                *
****************************************************************
CICS receives an HTTP request with a request body in UTF-8.
A web alias task is attached and the associated server program
issues an EXEC CICS WEB RECEIVE SRVCONVERT command to get the
input data and convert that data to EBCDIC.  Some of the UTF-8
characters are multi-byte but will be converted to single EBCDIC
bytes.

CICS correctly converts the data and returns it all in the INTO
or SET buffer but the WEB RECEIVE command completes with LENGERR
and RESP=36 which indicates that a partial body was returned.

Problem conclusion


    

  • CICS has been changed to return an OK response to the
application when all the data was correctly processed as part of
 the WEB RECEIVE SRVCONVERT command.
