				| 
 |  
				| Hello - 
 What could be the reasons for EIBCALEN to be zero when a CICS program is invoked after the data is entered?
 
 MDT flags have been enabled for the fields which are keyed thru MAP.
 
 A prompt response is highly appreciated.
 
 Thanks.

				| Is this a student question?  Wrong forum. 
 Had you taken the time to read the FAQ, you would have realized other members of this forum have other things to do.
 In the future instead of saying

 a little honestly would probably invoke help.  All you are going to get from me is links.  Do some reading.are in over-your-headhave no idea what you are doingand need help desperately.
 
 you need to review the RETURN command.
 
 Here is a basic discussion of the commarea and EIBCALEN
 
 The Quick Manuals link, at the top of every page in this website, would have directed you the CICS manuals
 and then you could have looked in the index as I did.
 
 By the way, hope this was a timely answer.

				| The DFHCOMMAREA has to be defined somewhere in your transaction logic, if not, it is 0.  Take a look at the threads about the DFHCOMMAREA or search for me as an author and dfhcommarea, this has been discussed often (also storage violation). Take a look at this link, the topic is similiar: http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=8516&highlight= |  |

				| the program that last displayed to the terminal did not post a commarea with the exec cics return . 
 should look something like this:
 
 exec cics return transid ('xxx')
 commarea          (ws-commarea)
 length                (ws-com-len)
   end-exec.
