CICS ADDRESS instruction

[Wanida Atiakkachai]

Hello All,

I have some question about the CICS instruction. When I execute
"EXEC CICS ADDRESS TWA(address of twa-area) END-EXEC"
instruction in COBOL program, I found the twa-area address is
x'FF000000'. And when I try to put the value into the field in twa-area,
I got response code '0C4'. Could anyone please explain to me why I
got the result likes this and how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

My environment is CICS4.1.0 and COBOL MVS.

Regards,
Wanida

Hi,

The "address" you received indicates that there is no
TWA. Make sure that the TWA size is defined in the
transaction definition in CEDA.

Regards.
Corneel.

Your result suggestsyour transaction was defined without a transaction work
area size, so no storage was allocated. Set your TWasize to the size of
your twa-area.

This is CICS's way of telling you the TWA does NOT EXIST because
there was no TWAsize specified in the Transaction Definition.

You probably have no TWA defined on your TRANSaction definition (TWASIZE =
0). X'FF000000" is what CICS returns as a "null pointer".

Well, if CICS returns an address of X'FF000000', this means - There is no TWA.
Just check the TWA size by EXEC CICS ASSIGN TWALEN(xxxx), which will return 0
