Hi,

I am getting the above error when linking from batch program to online,

I am not sure why I am getting it and have checked up on the resp code.

resp: 88 resp2 : 629
A response to a DPL request has been returned by CICS but the external CICS interface does not understand the response.

Here is my code on the link statement,
Code:

EXEC CICS LINK                             
    PROGRAM  (W010-NEFPME1Z)               
    TRANSID  (W010-TRAN-ID)                 
    RETCODE  (W020-CICS-RETURN-CODES)       
    SYNCONRETURN                           
    COMMAREA (EFME1-RECORD-LAYOUT)         
    LENGTH   (LENGTH OF EFME1-RECORD-LAYOUT)
    APPLID   (W010-CALL-REGION)             
END-EXEC.                                   

Please any assistance would be appreciated,

Would this be a batch program exected by jcl that is trying to link to an online cics module?

If yes, i believe this would be the problem. . .

It is a batch program that is called/started by a DB2 Stored Procedure

If this is a batch program, why is a CICS LINK being used?

Hi,

Few things which needs to be taken care before invoking online program from batch.

1) Make sure that DFHEXCI libraries are present in the joblib concatenations.

2) Tran-id should point to DFHMIRS program.this is because CICS first take the control and the triggered online program will run under the control of DFMIRS(mirror pgm) program.

i just have a question, what is the length of the online pgm name?..is it 8 bytes.


Thanks & Regards,
Hari
