  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When an outbound web service request is *
  *                      being made with an HTTP header larger   *
  *                      than 256 bytes, this header becomes     *
  *                      corrupted.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If an HTTP header larger than 256 bytes is sent on an outbound
  web service request, this header is handled incorrectly when
  being copied into the send buffer. This is because a MVC
  instruction is used which can move a maximum of 256 bytes. A
  header larger than this will be truncated and result in a
  corrupt header being built.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBCL has been changed to ensure the entire HTTP header value
  is copied correctly.
  

Temporary fix
