  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1) UoWs can be invalidly committed.     *
  *                      2) Superglobal $_POST is not populated  *
  *                         correctly.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  1. Using the JCICS task.abend() method
     in PHP does not cause the UoW to
     rollback, it is committed anyway.
  2. After applying WebSphere Liberty
     Profile 8.5.5 Fixpack 7 PTF UI34218
     the $_POST PHP Superglobal is not
     correctly populated with the POST
     parameters.
  

Problem conclusion

• The PHPServlet has been changed to ensure that the $_POST
  superglobal is correctly populated with the POST parameters.
  CICS Dynamic Scripting has been changed to ensure that the UoW
  is backed out after JCICS task.abend() is invoked from a PHP
  script.
