Generally we check EIBALEN = 0 to decide whether first call
or not.
If I do not pass any value in the COMMAREA then EIBCALEN
will be 0 even on second call. Now how can we say the
program is called for the first time or second time?

Answer Posted / praveen

for the first time eibcalen is zero with this we can
conclude this is first call and for the second time if u
dont pass the value for commarea the by default dfhcommarea
has one byte of memory with this we can say this is second call.

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.
