This type of problem is common when converting CICS programs from VSE to MVS. The most typical example is MOVE DFHCOMMAREA TO ws-xxxx, where length(ws-xxxx) is longer than length(DFHCOMMAREA). This is something that's generally noticed (and corrected) when the converted applications are being tested. For DFHCOMMAREA, there's a simple way to ensure that the MOVE instruction only transfers data that's available, and prevent the abend : MOVE DFHCOMMAREA(1:EIBCALEN) TO ws-xxxx -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
