Techies,
I have a CICS program A linking to program B to retrieve some data from the database. The problem here is that Unfortunately program B is already invoked in the same unit of work by program c leading to a CICS abend.
Could you please throw light on as to why this is happening? Will there be an issue when a same program is invoked by 2 programs in the same unit of work at the same time? |

| What's the CICS abend? CICS allows the same program to be invoked multiple times even at the same time, but there could be problems with the database piece. Locking is the most likely culprit. |

No abend code was displayed. It hit the handle abend paragraph which is at the start of that program and displayed the error messages that we had set.
Even i think the same, but not sure of the exact reason of the abend. |

| Did you save and display EIBRESP and EIBRESP2? They may be a clue as to what's going on. |

No. This is a production issue and hence we did not note those values. We were not able to create that scenario to test.
Ideally the EIBRESP will not be equal to zero! We have checked for EIBRESP after the link statement but i dont think that would have got executed because of the abend. The control directly went to the HANDLE ABEND paragraph. |

Program C doesn't call program A, does it? If so, I'd worry about recursion popping up.
What's the frequency of abend? If it's a rare abend, it's probably a timing issue and may be very difficult to resolve. If it happens sometimes but not that often, maybe writing state data to a TSQ before the link could help figure out the problem. |

Looks like locking is the culprit. SYNCONRETURN was not specified during the link which lead to the row being locked.
Shall post the complete solution once the abend is resolved.
Robert,
Thanks for all the help. |
