				| 
 |  
				| Hi, 
 I am getting the above error when linking from batch program to online,
 
 I am not sure why I am getting it and have checked up on the resp code.
 
 resp: 88 resp2 : 629
 A response to a DPL request has been returned by CICS but the external CICS interface does not understand the response.
 
 Here is my code on the link statement,
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | EXEC CICS LINK
 PROGRAM  (W010-NEFPME1Z)
 TRANSID  (W010-TRAN-ID)
 RETCODE  (W020-CICS-RETURN-CODES)
 SYNCONRETURN
 COMMAREA (EFME1-RECORD-LAYOUT)
 LENGTH   (LENGTH OF EFME1-RECORD-LAYOUT)
 APPLID   (W010-CALL-REGION)
 END-EXEC.
 
 | 
 Please any assistance would be appreciated,
 |  |

				| Would this be a batch program exected by jcl that is trying to link to an online cics module? 	  | Quote: |  	  | I am getting the above error when linking from batch program to online,

				| If this is a batch program, why is a CICS LINK being used? _________________

				| Hi, 
 Few things which needs to be taken care before invoking online program from batch.
 
 1) Make sure that DFHEXCI libraries are present in the joblib concatenations.
 
 2) Tran-id should point to DFHMIRS program.this is because CICS first take the control and the triggered online program will run under the control of DFMIRS(mirror pgm) program.
 
 i just have a question, what is the length of the online pgm name?..is it 8 bytes.
 
 
 Thanks & Regards,
 Hari
