Answer / bikash singhal
Eibcalen is the exec interface bloc command that is used to
indicate whether a particular program has been invoked for
the first time.
I.E EIBCALEN = 0 indicates that the program has been
invoked for the first time. For e.g. if EIBCALEN = 0 send
the menu map.

If EIBCALEN=1 means that the program has executed for the
first time and the code look like
