Sorry, I'm confused. How do you do what?
If you mean how do you pass 31000 bytes, you just LINK or XCTL or RETURN
with TRANSID using a parameter that large. There is no magic involved, and
AFAIK there aren't any limits imposed except the 32K maximum.
E.G., in COBOL:
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA PIC X(31000) VALUE SPACES.
.......
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
.......
EXEC CICS XCTL
PROGRAM ('NEXTPROG')
COMMAREA (LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA)
LENGTH (LENGTH OF LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA)
END-EXEC.
The NEXTPROG program will receive a 31000-byte DFHCOMMAREA.
If that was not what you meant to ask, please try again.
