Modifying the output from DFHWBTTA

Attention: This topic contains Product-sensitive Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.

For applications that use BMS, you can customize the HTML templates created from BMS maps. For more information, see Generating customized HTML templates.

For non-BMS applications, and BMS applications invoked using DFHWBTTC, you can modify the appearance of the page by providing your own heading and footing sections. You cannot change the screen image section directly, although tags which you insert in the heading section may affect the appearance of the following sections.

To provide your own heading and footing sections, define and install one or more of the following templates, whose names are defined in the TEMPLATENAME fields of DOCTEMPLATE definitions:
tranHEAD
This template is inserted at the head of the HTML page that is the output for transaction tran, if it is installed.
CICSHEAD
This template is inserted at the head of the HTML page that is output for transactions which do not have a corresponding tranHEAD template installed.
tranFOOT
This template is inserted at the foot of the HTML page that is output for transaction tran, if it is installed. If this template is not installed, CICSFOOT is used instead.
CICSFOOT
This template is inserted at the foot of the HTML page that is output for transactions which do not have a corresponding tranFOOT template installed.

For more information about creating document templates, see the CICS Application Programming Guide.

The heading section generated by CICS® Web support, including DFHWBTTC, uses the EBCDIC Latin character set (code page 037). If you use a different code page in your CICS system, you must create a similar heading section, using your own code page:
  1. Create a document template called CICSHEAD containing your heading section.
  2. Define and install a DOCTEMPLATE definition for the template.
. The following characters used in the CICS-generated heading section have different representations in code pages other than 037:
! [ ] { }
