Hello Experts,

I have following requirement..could you please help.

PROGA and PROGB.

I have to write one TSQ in PROGA and read it in PROGB.

As per me, the logic will be as follows.

PROGA:
Define TSQ - name and other details.

WRITEQ

PROGB:

READQ
process data
DELETEQ

Pls could you confirm if this is fine?

PROGA is calling PROGB...FYI

if PROGA is CALLing PROGB,
why bother with the queue,
just pass the data in the CALL USING LIST.

If this is class-room work,
you are in the wrong website.

Unless you can explain why you need a TSQ, I don't see that you do.

The commarea is a CICS area. You are using a CALL,
which means you define the areas which you want to pass with the CALL USING list.

And part of you job as a developer is to call the designers on their BS.

Ohhh come on, guys....
Even if this is a BS requirement, Sunil is entitled to receive an answer.

Basically, TS is used to pass data between different tasks.
For this to work, the tasks need to use the same TS name.

There are many methods used to give the TS a unique name that can be recognized by the partner task (using transaction and terminal ids for example).

In your case, as there is only one task (and that's why use of TS should be justified), you can pass the queue name in one of the USING fields.
