Hi All,

I am calling a CICS program from a batch program. The called program is getting invoked, but the data I pass in the callling program is not available in the called program.

The call in batch program is like this.

Code:
                                         
 EXEC CICS LINK                           
    PROGRAM(W01-TARGET-PROGRAM)           
    TRANSID(W01-TARGET-TRANSID)           
    APPLID(W01-TARGET-SYSTEM)             
    COMMAREA(SOMS-INPUT-FILE)             
    LENGTH(LENGTH OF SOMS-INPUT-FILE)     
    DATALENGTH(LENGTH OF SOMS-INPUT-FILE)
    RETCODE(EXCI-EXEC-RETURN-CODE)       
    SYNCONRETURN                         
 END-EXEC                                 
                                         


In the called progam..

Code:
 LINKAGE SECTION.                               
 01  DFHCOMMAREA           PIC X(1024).         
*                                               
 01  EXCI-EXEC-RETURN-CODE PIC X(5).             
*                                               
                                                 
                                                 
 PROCEDURE DIVISION.                             
********************                             
* getZIKDATA                                     
     DISPLAY 'DFHLEN' EIBCALEN                   
     MOVE DFHCOMMAREA TO WS-COMMAREA             


The above code displays length zero for EIBCALEN.

Can someone please point out what could be the problem here. Why am I not getting the data into the called program?

Thank you

Regards,
Sinduja

sinduja,

Look up the sample COBOL DFH0CXCC program in CICSTS*.CICS.SDFHSAMP library which shows how to use EXCI interface.
