Support for DBCS (double byte character set) data items in Enterprise
Service Tools single-service projects requires that the request and
response XML documents are encoded in UTF-16 or UTF-8.
- With Web Services for CICS® runtime
Exchange
XML in UTF-8 with a client by default while the XML Converter Driver
exchanges XML with CICS in
UTF-16; when UNICODE is needed, UTF-16 is the most efficient choice
currently for the XML Converters.
- With SOAP for CICS runtime
Configure
the feature to exchange XML in UTF-8 or UTF-16 with the XML Converter
Driver.
For either runtime, it might be necessary to configure z/OS® support for UNICODE with a
conversion image that supports conversion between UNICODE and the
DBCS host codepage.
