 A fix may be available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The default webcontainer.conf file contains almost 2000 '#'
chars in the last line. This leads to the failure on the
Rexx code's syscall 'readfile' in the customer's automation
Rexx program.
The maximum allowable length is 1024 as seen in the manual
"z/OS Using REXX and z/OS UNIX System Services".
Local fix
Edit the default webcontainer.conf file to delete all or some
of the #'s in the last line that has almost 2000 '#' chars to
reduce them to the limit of 1024 or less .
