What is the difference between START and XCTL ?

Answer Posted / srihari

# 2

Start and XCTL are completely different in execution.
in START, we are executing a program associated with the
transaction we give in START TRAN-id, no data is given here,
where as in XCTL data is transferred from the program which
we call the XCTL function to the program to which the
control is passed.

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.
