What does it mean when EIBCALEN is equal to zeros?

Question Posted / pradeep

Answer Posted / pradeep

Its not that just CICS has returned no data, but also, when
there is another Programming language which passes data to
the CICS program, the EIBCALEN will be zero. This is
because, the CICS to CICS data transfer only through the
COMMAREA in LINKAGE SECTION. And if there is another prog.
lang. passing the data to a CICS prg, then data will be
received in the LINKAGE SECTION but with a Different Pre-
defined data item. For ex:

LINKAGE,SECTION.

01 DFHCOMMAREA.
03 FILLER PIC X(95).
01 TWA-AREA.
05 INTERFACE-AREA-ADDR USAGE IS POINTER.
01 MANTIS-IN.
02 FILLER PIC X(8).
02 MANTIS-DATA.
05 FILLER PIC X(95).

Here, the DFHCOMMAREA is only used, when a CICS Prog sends
the data. Whereas the MANTIS-IN is used when a MANTIS prog
is linked to this CICS pgm.

So, In PROCEDURE DIVISION, we give the following check

EVALUATE,EIBCALEN,
WHEN ZERO
EXEC CICS ADDRESS TWA(ADDRESS OF TWA-AREA) END-EXEC
SET ADDRESS OF MANTIS-IN TO INTERFACE-AREA-ADDR
MOVE MANTIS-DATA TO WW-LINKAGE-AREA
WHEN OTHER
MOVE DFHCOMMAREA TO WW-LINKAGE-AREA
END-EVALUATE.

Hope this is understandable!!
