****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An entry cached by the Dynamic Cache    *
*                      Service is displayed with incorrect     *
*                      characters. The encoding for the entry  *
*                      is not handled correctly.               *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
While rendering cached data, only the first character encoding
is set before obtaining the writer. This causes DBCS and other
encoded characters to display incorrectly.
Problem conclusion
All the character encodings on a cached entry are now set before
obtaining a writer.

APAR PK12942 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502035 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
