Hello devaswamidoss,

Information below may be of your help,


Quote:
The common work area (CWA) is a single control block that is allocated at system startup time and exists for the duration of that CICS session. The size is fixed, as specified in the system initialization parameter,


The CWA is initialized by an AMODE(31) PLTPI program, which obtains storage for application-related tables, and stores the addresses of the GETMAINed storage in the CWA.



Hope this helps

Regards

Mayuresh Tendulkar

The size is whatever the systems programmer sets it at. Normal used to be 512 bytes.

If not used properly, you could crash the CICS region.

I would suggest you contact your CICS Tech. support people. They should
be able to give you an answer.
