Error description
GIOP V1.2/V1.1 Marshall Exception
An EJB bean running under WAS V5 received a request message in
GIOP V1.1. This EJB bean returned a WString value. The WString
value marshalled in GIOP V1.2 way even though the GIOP version
of the reply message was V1.1.
In GIOP V1.1, the length of WString value is indicated as the
number of characters including a terminating null character.
In GIOP V1.2, the length of Wstring value is indicated the
number of octets of the value, and the value doesn't include a
a terminating null character.
Marshall exception raised:
No "protocol_giop_level_highest" was specified in was.env file
of the application server.

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The GIOP version that should be used to marshal return parameter
data is not correctly passed to the marshalling engine,
resulting in incorrectly marshalled wstring/wchar data in
GIOP 1.1 responses generated by WebSphere Application Server
V5.0 for z/OS. The wstring or wchar would be marshalled in the
GIOP 1.2 format, even though the associated response message is
an otherwise correctly formed GIOP 1.1 response.
Problem conclusion
Response handling was modified to correctly forward the giop
version to the marshalling engine.

APAR PQ80099 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502000 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
