Hi

I am getting an issue with the GETMAIN command. I am calling the LAN interface multiple times to send some data out. For this module issues GETMAIN command to acquire buffer area as follows:



Code:

Compute NewEibcalen2 = Eibcalen + Length Newcommarea2First.   
DISPLAY 'NewEibcalen2 : ' NewEibcalen2.                       
DISPLAY 'Eibcalen : ' Eibcalen.                               
DISPLAY 'Newcommarea2First : ' Newcommarea2First.             
DISPLAY 'DISPLAY 1 **************************'                 
                                                               
EXEC CICS GETMAIN                                             
          SET(ADDRESS OF NewCommarea2)                         
          FLENGTH(NewEibcalen2)                               
          INITIMG(NullByte)                                   
          NOHANDLE                                             
          END-EXEC.                                           
                                                               
DISPLAY 'EIBRESP:'EIBRESP.                                     
If Debug2                                                     
   if EibResp > Zero                                           
      DISPLAY EibTaskN '*' 'GETMAIN(1) EIBRESP=' EibResp       


This is being done around 160 times, however after around 145th occurrence, this stops working.

The display in log is as follows :

Code:

NewEibcalen2 : 0000032509                 
Eibcalen : 32500                           
Newcommarea2First :                       
DISPLAY 1 **************************       
0013005*Blocking Reads                     
0013005*I waited 00000 Cycles             




The displays before this are as follows:

Code:

NewEibcalen2 : 0000032509                           
Eibcalen : 32500                                     
Newcommarea2First :                                 
DISPLAY 1 **************************                 
EIBRESP:0000000000                                   
DISPLAY 2 **************************                 


Any suggestions ?

Thanks

It is there after connectio to sockets, writes and then closes.

Code:

1999EndTransaction.                                           
                                                               
                                                               
***************************************************************
   FREE MAIN STORAGE USED                                     *
***************************************************************
    EXEC CICS FREEMAIN                                         
              DATA(NewCommarea2)                               
              NOHANDLE                                         
    END-EXEC.

Because of what? Talk to CICS Admin and get their help to locate the problem. Are you seeing NOSTG condition occurs?

I echo the others in saying you do not provide nearly enough information -- when you tell us something isn't working, you need to tell us what message(s) you get or the CICS response code value (at least).

If the source code is COBOL, are you compiling DATA(24) or DATA(31)? If you are compiling with DATA(24), then your GETMAIN requests come out of DSA and since you've asked for 4.7 million bytes when the GETMAIN requests stop working, I wouldn't be surprised to find SHORT-ON-STORAGE conditions occurring. DATA(31) would indicate the GETMAIN requests are coming from EDSA, but then the question is what size is your EDSA -- a question only your site support group can answer for you.

As otherwise stated, you REALLY need to talk to your site support group -- they are the only ones that will be able to help you. We can guess, but since we don't work at your site we cannot provide you with much help with this problem.
