The CICS Return statement is calling the same program

Hi,

I'm Xpedting a program and it seems that CICS Return statement has some issue.

I have ProgA which calls ProgB through Link statement. ProgB inturn calls other programs though link only. But when I execute the statement CICS Return in ProgB the program starts from the begining. Next time when the CICS return is executed, it returns to ProgA.

How can I trace the path or know where the control will return?

General consideration ....

after a LINK the program will always return to the calling program
-- You go down one level in the nesting chain

so ... progB returning to progA is the natural thing to happen

if progA restarts from the beginning, I feel, it is a progA issue

are You sure that somewhere You do not have a return transid ....
with the transid being the one that triggers progA ??
