Thanks Earl.

Isn't TSQ used to pass data between programs which are running in the same region?

TSQ can be used cross region with SYSID option

I think If we will use TDQ(Transient data queue) then we can achieve the goal...

why not just perform ?

EXEC CICS LINK ('PROGNAME')
COMMAREA (WS-COMMAREA)
LENGTH (WS-LENGTH)
SYSID (REMOTE-SYSID)
