Hi,

I need to write a new CICS program which will display a screen with page up/down options. So when user press a page down(PF7) or page up(PF8) key, I need to retain the current data and display the next/previous page.

In what are all ways I can retain the current/previous data of the screen?

Can some one please explain?

One more question I have, Is working storage section variables can retain the data when the program enters again and again?

Thanks
Madhu

madhuroyus,

This is a good starting point for you -

Working storage variables are not retained in pseudoconversational programming. You have pass it thru COMMAREA and receive it in DFHCOMMAREA in the linkage section. Pls refer to any standard CICS manual for details.

Regards,
Manas
