There is a place to find exactly what caused a 4038 abend. Just look at where ever you have the CESE transient data queue pointing (a lot of shops have it pointing to SYSOUT, so you may have to browse CICS output in SDSF or similar product). There will be a message that pretty much spells out the cause of the abend (in most cases, it is something simple, like a resource not defined).

hi dude

1.u wud have missed a stop run in the program

2.If u want the control to return back to the main program use Link else u can use xctl which wont return the control back to the calling prog...

3.no problem in using xctl or link if u dont have cics in the program to be called

4. you may calling a module which have amode(24) from a module with amode(31) attributes.

Hi frnd,

Ur PDS/PS file may be used/altered by some other job while the calling job uses that for some other purpose... so check it out... it's is also a possibility not a solution
