Can COBOL EXTERNAL Data be used in online CICS module ?
Example:
Code: |
01 AABP1DAL-CALL-POINTERS EXTERNAL.
05 AABP1DAL-DDAL-PNTR POINTER.
05 AABP1DAL-RTRN-PNTR POINTER.
05 AABP1DAL-RCRD-PNTR POINTER.

Yes, but the EXTERNAL WS definitions must be identical in all related programs and are only addressable within the same run unit (IE: Transaction).

Would it make more sense to use the COMMAREA for this purpose? |
