hi dude...online program means cics....the data from the physical map should be sent to the record structure and write that record.move the values from the symbolic map to the record structure.
after successful operation use cics routine and send the message saying successfull operation.......this can be done using dfhcomarea....linkage section should be used....

Hi guys,

Not sure whether these steps will address your issue.

1) In CICS trigger the batch job by using INTRDR.

2) In Batch program write the Return code to a file say Batch file.

3) In CICS using CECI within the program Open the Batch file

4) Read Batch file for the Return code and send the read values to CICS map.

These are my 2 cents of views.

Thanks
