Hi,

I am getting AEI2 abend when RETRIEVE command is executed.

here is how code looks like

Main program

EXEC CICS START
TRANSID('ECAC')
RESP(WS-CICS-RESP)

Sub program

EXEC CICS RETRIEVE
INTO(MQTM)
END-EXEC.

Can you please help me out with this

I just checked the manual

if You had looked it up Yourself instead of lazily sitting on Your ***
waiting for somebody to retype the info contained in the manual

You would have already found the solution

the manual is very clear about the miscoding error

even a stupid google search with CICS ABEND AEI2 would have solved Your problem

Explanation
ENDDATA condition not handled.

This is one of a number of abends issued by the EXEC interface program.
Because of their similar characteristics these abends are described as a
group.

See the description of abend AEIA for further details.

From the code you supplied, I see you have not coded FROM() in the Start, and thus there is no data to be retrieved, which, of course, gives the Enddata condition , and the abend. You should ALWAYS retreive until the Enddata condition is signalled. This condition removes the AID (Automatic Initiate Descriptor) from the Queue. Otherwise the task will be started over and over. To pevent this, the AEI2 is issued, to make you aware of the missing handling of the condition.
