What PROCOPT to use when the command code is 'D'?

Hi,
I have an IMS DB with 5 levels. I want to retrieve level 3 data ->display-> take the values from the user -> Update. I am using the following call.
CALL 'CBLTDLI' USING GHU
DB-PCB
LEVEL1-IO-AREA
LEVEL2-IO-AREA
LEVEL3-IO-AREA
Qualified SSA of level1
Qualified SSA of level2
Qualified SSA of level3

In Qualified SSA's of Levle1 and Level 2, I have given Command code 'D'.
In PSB and SENSEGs, I have given PROCOPT 'A'. When I am trying to run, its throwing status code AM. Can you please tell me what could be the problem? or is there any other method to achieve the same?
Note: I need IO AREAs of all the 3 levels.

Hi There,

You need to give procopt as AP because u r issuing a path call.Remember not to use command code in level -3

Hi,

im not sure if we can specify 3 IO-Areas in one command level IMS call.
Please try placing all the 3 IO areas under one group level
and give the one group level variable instead of the 3 IO areas.

In our shop the 3 IO areas simply does not work.

Right, a pathcall result is stored in one single io-area large enough to hold all the segments retrieved with *D.
