Answer / pawan
CICS is itself a parent program under which our cics
application programs run as a sub programs. As every sub
program has a linkage section we also hav linkage section
in our program wherein the using verb we provide dfhcommlen
as argumeent. But its not written explicitly in our
programs as all programs include them automatically
whenever the are called under the CICS system.

how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated? Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map gets treated? Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map should be constant? How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with 5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O. For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA, EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map. Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct me if I am wrong.
