Length option in CICS

Postby gauthamnagpur18 » Tue Apr 22, 2014 3:51 pm

Hi,

To understand Length option in CICS , I increased the length of VSAM cluster from 5000(existing)to 20000.

But in program , length of the record is defined as 5000.

When i tried to read the record with 5000 record length, program didnt abend .

Actually it should abend as VSAM cluster length is 20000.

Any clues why it is not abending ?

I used SET option during read .

Read syntax which i used:

EXEC CICS READ
DATASET(XYZ)
SET(ADDRESS OF SET-XYZ-REC)
RIDFLD(K-XYZ-KEY)
KEYLENGTH(K-XYZ-KEY-LENGTH)
LENGTH(K-XYZ-REC-LENGTH)
END-EXEC.

K-XYZ-REC-LENGTH is 5000

Thanks,
Gautham

What ABEND did you expect? I would have thought you'd get a length error in EIBRESP on the READ -- which is NOT an ABEND.
