APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The customer is deploying a Web application developed on
WebSphere Application Server 4.0.2 NT AE to WebSphere
Application Server 4.0.1 for z/OS. The JSP returns the
wrong html code. The output is damaged, i.e. the tables to be
built are overlapping. This effect is shown by the respective
HTML which shows that the JSP has generated table tags before
the HTML-header-tags. The JSP uses a template mechanism, but
it seems that the included JSP is written out first and then
followed by the static content.
   On WebSphere Application Server 4.0.2 AE for NT FIXPACK
2 the JSPs worked, but also failed on WebSphere
Application Server 4.0.1 for NT.
This APAR is related to WebSphere for Solaris APAR PQ48079
