values getting appended in commarea

Hi all,

We are using DFHLS2WS to generate the WSDL and WSBIND files.

SOAP messages are written to COMMAREA to invoke our backend programs defined in CICS.

we allocated as below
Size for int = 4 + 4
Size for char = 8

Total size = 16

But the Commarea length is 20 (as showing in EIBCALEN)
and we dont dont know why cics is appending spaces in commarea

Can anyone help on this issue.

The picture clearly shows a 20-byte COMMAREA. 4 bytes are a non-display field, 9 bytes are 'SYSADM ' and 7 bytes are non-display. There are no spaces being appended. Try the display again, hit the F2 key to convert the COMMAREA into hex and see what the values are. Post this data in BBcode format -- don't use attachments as many cannot download them.
