Hi,

I am using External CICS Interface.

My batch program will execute a specefic program in one of the online region for each record from the inputfile. (I am using EXEC CICS LINK)

I am getting the following errors.

EXEC-RESP = 88
EXEC-RESP2 = 414
and a CICS abend of AXFQ.

Could any one please let me know what are these errors and how can I fix them.

according to the ABEND Assistant (free download from this site):

There is a link at the top of the page to manuals, including the CICS Language Reference. This manual describes the EIBRESP values in one of the appendices.

Google AXFQ and the fourth returned link (for me) is the IBM manual that describes the AXFQ abend code.

Once you understand what the error codes mean, that should guide you as to how to fix your code.

First: It is not good performance practice to issue multiple EXEC CICS LINK from a batch cobol program into CICS.

Second: Usage of EXCI from batch requires some CICS setup by
your CICS Technical support group. Have you discussed with them ?

Third: There is vendor software available that can out perform anything
you write on your own. Suggest you review the following for additional
information and pass it on to CICS Tech. support people.

If you really need to access CICS from Batch and you don't have any 3rd-Party Software to do this and the access will be significant, then I'd suggest that you look into the EXCI's cousin, named ECI.
