Expected data is not coming up on First Time Enter on CICS

Hi,
I have a COBOL CICS DB2 program where I have done my changes to one of the transaction. When I am entering transaction name on native CICS screen values are coming different because my program is displaying segment values as empty which shouldn’t be the case. But when I am pressing enter second time, correct values are getting displayed.

Could you please advise why on first time enter, values are getting displayed incorrectly?

Thanks,
Channa

Welcome!
When you enter first time it’s may be because you have used MAPONLY option and next time onwards it’s DATAONLY or nothing is mentioned during SEND MAP.
second understand and debug the program if needed to see how it’s codes logically.
