How many ways to share information between different CICS
programs?

Answer Posted / vaibhavaguta

Below are the two wats I am aware of:

1. simplest way is to use DFHCOMMAREA (but this has a limitation that we can not pass data between CICS programs more then 32K bytes)

2. To over come 32K limitation we can use Channels and Containers to share data between two CICS programs. 


Please correct me if am wrong.
