Hi All,

Can I use External Copy book to pass data between two CICS applications to overcome the COMMAREA limitaion of 32K. I am finding some material on CICS containers which overcomes the same problem. But what will be the limitation if I continue to use External Copybooks instead of Containers..?


Thanks!!

Please describe/define what you mean by an "external copybook".

This is not a term with which i'm familiar and it is not mentioned in the current COBOL Language Reference manual Confused

External Copy books are defined with the word "EXTERNAL". If a program calls another program in CICS, it need not pass any values. Instead both programs can use the variables in the EXTERNAL copy book.
