When I am executing the below code, I am getting ASRA abend.
*EXEC CICS ADDRESS
* TWA(ADDRESS OF CARTWA)
* END-EXEC.
Call 'DFHEI1' using by content x'0202800046030000000000000000
- '0000000000000000' by reference ADDRESS OF CARTWA end-call.
* SERVICE RELOAD CARTWA.
*
* USE PASSED TIOABAR TO ADDRESS TIOA.
* (INPUT DATA ALREADY MAPPED BY CAPR00)
*
MOVE CARTWA-TIOA-SAVE TO LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP
SET ADDRESS OF CAXRDCI TO LCP-WS-ADDR-PNTR. -- After executing this line, ASRA -PROTECTION EXCEPTION abend came.
* SERVICE RELOAD CAXRDCI.
MOVE SPACES TO CTLERRO.
Please let me know, how to solve this error? |

Protection exception means you're reading or writing memory that doesn't belong to your transaction. Is this code that's been running in production or new code you're writing? Are you sure there's a TWA defined for your transaction? From the CICS Language Reference manual:
| Quote: |
TWA(ptr-ref)
returns a pointer reference, set to the address of the transaction work area (TWA). This area is used for passing information between application programs, but only if they are in the same task. If a TWA does not exist, the pointer reference is set to the null value, X'FF000000'. |
You need to check that the pointer returned is valid before using it.
Furthermore, if you're giving us code it would be nice if you included the Linkage or Working Storage definitions for the data items referenced in the code as well. |

In my previous mail, I have mentioned error place wrongly.
please find the below for more details.
*EXEC CICS ADDRESS

If CARTWA-TIOA-SAVE is in the TWA, then you seem to have a TWA.
If LCP-WS-ADDR-PNTR points to linkage storage that CTLERRO is in, then you have a bad address.
Either look in the TWA CARTWA-TIOA-SAVE or look at LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP and see if it is valid. I'd guess that it is zero. |

The value for LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP is +00000000 and the value for LCP-WS-ADDR-PNTR is X 00000000.
The above variables are defined in below way in program
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
77 LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP PIC S9(8) COMP.
77 LCP-WS-ADDR-PNTR REDEFINES LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP
USAGE POINTER.
Please let me know, how to solve this? |

1. You still haven't provided any proof that you actually have a TWA with this transaction; If the TWA address returned is FF000000 then you would get a protection exception upon any reference to the TWA fields.
2. Is this an existing production program you are changing or are you writing a new program?
3. Can you do a CEDC on the transaction ID and post the results to show how much TWA is defined? You may have to get your CICS support group to issue the transaction if you don't have access. |

This looks like old CICS Macro level code.
Robert is correct, could be you don't have TWA properly established.
Check with your CICS Tech support to help resolve this. |

If the OP is correct, the TWA does have valid addressability.

This seems odd, expecting a passed TIOA to still be available during the next transaction? |

Although if the address is all zeroes, that does explain the protection exception rather nicely. |

Using CECI, issue -
| Code: |
INQUIRE TRANSACTION ('XXXX')
|
Please substitute XXXX with the target transaction-id. 
One of the parameters returned will be TWASIZE (as a binary fullword), so please post this value. If the value is all zeros, then the PCT entry for this transaction needs to be updated to reflect that a TWA exists. But also, if the TWASIZE value is less than the length of the LINKAGE SECTION 01 area and you're attempting to address beyond the the TWA length/size, then a S0C4 will be raised, due to non-addressability.

Not when you notice that the MOVE CARTWA-TIOA-SAVE TO LCP-WS-ADDR-COMP was moving from the TWA to working storage. |

| I'm with Earl; definitely looks like a Macro level program. Yuck! Everyone I know of, including me, had trouble establishing addressability in those days. I'd suggest rewriting that dude in Command Level COBOL if at all possible. |

Earl/Terry,
In his code example, he's using the ADDRESS OF syntax, which was first introduced with COBOL2.
COBOL2 did not support CICS Macro level and the last version/release to support Macro for HLL's was CICS/MVS 2.1.2. As far as COBOL, OS/VS COBOL was the last version to support CICS Macro level.
CICS/ESA 3.1.1 was the last version/release to support CICS Macro for Assembler.
When CICS/ESA 3.2.1 was introduced, Macro support in any previously supported language had gone bye-bye.

My tech support changed the compiler for osvs program from CICSCMCB to CICSCLE. So they did some code changes using some tool in this program.

MOVE SPACES TO CTLERRO. -- here I am getting error

I have checked the TWASIZE value using CECI command. The TWASIZE value is +0000003632.
I guess, this program is not receiving the address properly.
CEDC command has Display, Expand and View option. I dont know which option i have to use.
Please let me know your suggestions on this.
Thanks

The CEDC command would be View -- V GR(*) TRANS(????) for example; If more than one come up put a V on the line to look at (where the cursor is).
As far as the code goes, oy vey. Addressing the TWA is fine, but where did the data get into the TWA from? How do you know that the CARTWA-TIOA-SAVE field actually contains an address? If it contained an address (and the fact that an earlier post has zeroes for the field points to the likelihood that it does not), the code would be okay. Since you're getting a protection exception, I would either (a) GETMAIN storage for the CAXRDCI-I data structure, or (b) move the 01 level to WORKING-STORAGE instead of LINKAGE section.
The thing about LINKAGE SECTION data fields is that they are defined by other programs and passed to this program; there is no storage allocated in this program for these structures. It's real easy to get a protection exception when referencing memory that doesn't exist, and you're relying upon other programs to ensure the memory does exist. |

Hai,
The address is passing correctly in the calling program of this program.
I am not sure how to solve this error? Please help me to solve this error.

If this hasn't changed, the address of +00000000 is not a valid address. It is part of system storage and referencing it will cause a protection exception. Since you're sure the address is passing correctly in the calling program, you need to find the error in your called program. |
