PLI - IMS .. I am facing a problem when I send SPA from one program to another. I can see the SPA through BTS in the second program but the PUT SKIP LISTs are showing SPA as empty. Does anybody have any idea why this maybe so??

sukumarberi,

Where are you looking for the display of SPA? When you are issuing the ISRT call for transfer into the next program , what is the size of the area you are trying to pass?

I look at the value of the SPA both in the first program as well in the second program. In the first program my PUT SKIP shows it properly but in the second on it comes as empty. However through BTS and the IBM Debug Tool I am able to view the SPA.

The size of my SPA 4096 bytes. The text are is 4084 bytes.

Hi,

The problem it seems was because I was trying to pass SPA from a conversational program to a non-conversational program. When I changed the transaction type of the second program to conversational my second program was able to read the SPA properly.

However , this has raised two further issues ...

1. Is there any way to send SPA from a Conversational to a Non-conversational transaction.

2. Is it possible to call a Non conversational transaction from a conversational transaction "Asynchronously"

This might be a beginners questions, but I would be obliged if you take out time to answer them

Regards,
Sukumar

No.

I am not sure what you mean by "async". You can call a background (non-response mode) transaction from a conversational program. You can call a response-mode transaction but the conversation ends.
