Hi All,

I have one doubt regarding the passing data from XCTL.

I have one program TESTPGM and TESTPGM1.
TESTPGM1 program is called by TESTPGM through XCTL and passing data also.

Here my doubt is whether Can I change the data in TESTPGM1 which is COMMAREA.

I have declared COMMAREA IN TESTPGM1 as follows.

01 DFHCOMMAREA.
05 COMMMAREA PIC X(124).

When I'm debugging with Xpeditor it is showing as follows.

K 01 DFHCOMMAREA GROUP LINKAGE SECTION 01 PTR=0
K 02 COMMMAREA X(124) LINKAGE SECTION 01 PTR=0

Here I was unable to edit the the DFHCOMMAREA.

Is it possible to edit DFHCOMMAREA data which was passed by XCTL program.

Please sugguest me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Sridevi

Yes it is possible to edit DFHCOMMAREA data which was passed by XCTL program.
Make sure that before calling the sub pgm TESTPGM1, you have moved the required data's to the DFHCOMMAREA.
Am sure we can edit the DFHCOMMAREA.

Thnx
