We are doing a migration project from(OSVS COBOL to COBOL 390). In our cics programs the service reload statement is getting commented out by the tool and we define a new ptr which will point to that address of that pcb/tctua-area that is defined. In our cics programs there is a ststement like SERVICE RELOAD DFHEIBLK & SERVICE RELOAD DFHCOMMAREA in some of the pgms for which the tool is commenting out these statements and the client has raised a query on this.

9120-MAPFAIL has the SERVICE RELOAD DFHEIBLK and SERVICE RELOAD DFHCOMMAREA just commented out. I feel this may not be enough. We can

Vani,

SERVICE RELOAD statement is obsolete and no longer needed and if it exists in the program it is treated as comments.BLL cells can be Removed from the Linkage section and SERVICE RELOAD statements can be eliminated from the PROCEDURE DIVISION.The ADDRESS OF Special Register has replaced BLL Cells.

Hope this helps...

cheers

Hi,

I want to know how internally will they communicate(DFHEIBBLK and DFHCOMMAREA) as, you have said above that SERVICE RELOAD is not needed. I believe a pointer must be re-established and those areas and the data later reloaded into the working storage commarea of the program.

Please explain me what it means?
