Unable to test in IMS DC U40 region

Hi,

I coded a cobol program which invokes a inquiry screen ( IMS DC ) and this program accesses DB2 table to get back the values on to the screen.I tried testing throug Xpeditor using BTS and it is working as expected .

But when I tried in the region U40 ( endevor ) and when I give the values on the screen and press enter , there is no reaction on the screen.It is neither throwing any message nor abending . I am not sure how to process further as I am not knowing if it is DB2 connectivity problem or the problem with the Cobol code.

Please suggest .

Did you hit the right enter (depending on your keyboard). If you have connectivity to the region there should be a little clock in your bottom line. I sometimes also hit the wrong key

If you do have continious connectivity (like system hangs) it might be your transaction / program isn't active or one of the accessed databases is offline.

The system doesnt get hanged nor display the values.

Does it mean that there can be a chance of connectivity problem to DB2

In order to find out if your application is scheduled at all bring in a display at the start of your program and check the SYSPRINT in the region; that is if displays are allowed in your shop. Did you already check the status of your transaction (/DIS TRAN transactioncode) and your program and PBS (/DIS PROG programname). Is your transaction assigned to a class supported by an active region; /DIS TRAN transactioncode displays the class under CL. To check the active region for this class: /DIS REG A. and find your class in the regions. Using SDSF you can investigate the SYSPRINT in order to check the display.

Thanks for the suggestions they are very helpful.

I am getting the initial screen but when i enter values it is doing nothing .

. Is it possible that there is a possibility of region set up problem . because screen is getting displayed but no validations are being accepted

Does your application get any control? Did you put in the display to find out whether or not your application was scheduled?

Thanks george , I am able to get the values on to the region now but I the PFkey validation is not working . I checked with displays and logic is fine but it is not recognizing my Pfkey value .
