DOCUMENT APIs (Known Issues)

Enterprise Server now supports the following DOCUMENT API:
  • CREATE
  • INSERT
  • RETRIEVE
  • DELETE
  • SET

If the templates used by your application are specified as members of a PDS where the PDS defaults to DFHHTML, you need to set up the environment variable DFHHTML. This variable enables concatenation of up to 20 PDS names, where the names can be separated by a semicolon. For example:

DFHHTML=MYPDS.HTML.LEVEL1;MYPDS.HTML.LEVEL2; MYPDS.HTML.LEVEL3;... MYPDS.HTML.LEVEL20
DOCUMENT support has the following limitations:
  • DOCUMENT CREATE and DOCUMENT INSERT do not support HOSTCODEPAGE
  • DOCUMENT RETRIEVE does not support CHARACTERSET and CLNTCODEPAGE
  • You cannot create a document from, or insert into a document, a previously-retrieved document which contains tags embedded by CICS.
  • RECFM V is not supported for PDS associated with a DOCTEMPLATE definition. You must use RECFM Line sequential or Fixed instead.
