search in the manual for the meaning of LE abend 4094,
the abend reason code should hint You on what is going on
without the reason code little can be said

LE abends normally indicate a storage problem,

Maybe your DFHCOMMAREA is too large.

Could be you whole program logic has problems,
limited information provided = liminited answers

Why not use a debugger' - EVEN IBM SUPPLIED IBM CEDF will
help.

DOES NO ONE GO TO THEIR CICS SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER ANYMORE
FOR HELP ?

I have found out that LE abend 4094 is the cics storage viloation.
But still I am unable to find out what the reason could be. Can somebody who has come across the same abend or knows more shed some more light for my analysis?

Normally when you do a RETURN TRANSID your COMMAREA field is a WORKING-STORAGE structure. Your code specifies DFHCOMMAREA, which is probably in LINKAGE SECTION. Most likely when your transaction returns, CICS releases the storage associated with the current transaction which means DFHCOMMAREA is no longer part of your storage. That would cause a storage violation when you tried to use storage you don't have any more, as when the new transaction kicks off.

Esshilpa,

Robert may be on to something with his response about
pointing to dfhcommarea on your CICS return statement.

Suggest you change CICS return statment to a working
storage field and let us know if you still have the problem.
