| If null values are default then i found it as very difficult in distinguishing between user entered one and default values... |

Are you using the MDT to determine which fields were changed?
And if the user tabs to the field and hits the ERASE EOF key, that will replace the field value with LOW-VALUES. |

MDT is set on....But i have even problem in this....
If i enter the value in the map and if i press enter, the map receives the value in the I variable and throws some message in the map and if i again press by not changing the values, then it is not receiving the values again..............  |

Since the data is not received into the map variables after pressing "Enter" key, the MDT is not set ON.
If the MDT is not set ON, no data is going to receive into the map variable. MDT can be set ON by the following methods
1. Code FSET in the Map Macro.
2. Move DFHBMFSE to the mapvariable + A field through the COBOL
program if you are using COBOL program
Eg. iF Map variable in the Macro is EMPNO, then code EMPNOA.
3. "Key in" the data in the map fields.
In your case you have to use the second method since first time you are doing a data entry in the map.

this is all expalined in the CICS Applications Programmer Guide.
in addition, you might try asking your co-workers before posting
entry level questions on this board. |

as Enrico pointed out,
CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Application Programming Reference.
there are many manuals covering CICS.
To develop your craft, you need to read more than one manual. |

Hi Manigandan Aravindhan
Sorry if I came off a little harsh, but
back in my early days of learning CICS, there was no internet, or public
forums to post questions, so I spent many a late night reading manuals and performing trial and error test scenarios.
In addition, what you refer to as variables are still known as Fields
to us old timers. |
