>From my "usually reliable sources" (at IBM), "Hi Bill,
The developer for this area has passed on some information that might be useful for you. A customer raised a service request recently about this. As a result of this there was an APAR PK17576 CICS GOES SOS IN ECDSA WHEN CREATING LARGE WEB DOCUMENTS. The APAR explains what's happening - multiple copies of the document are being held: [For sending a CICS document using CICS Web support] there will ... be 5 large storage users. 2 copies in document handler using DHDDB storage, 1 copy in TS using TSMAIN, 1 copy in a temporary buffer in WBGENRAL, and 1 buffer to hold the completed HTTP response. . The HTTP response is in user key storage because the server program runs in user key. This will be the storage increase seen in EUDSA. The other 4 areas will all be in ECDSA. The APAR reduces the copies of the document that are held. Unfortunately I see the only doc update requested was for the Data Areas manuals! I've made a note to improve the documentation about this. Hope that helps," -- Bill Klein wmklein <at> ix.netcom.com "Steamroller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi.
