Hai,

This EIB field is used to check whether the rollback to the syncpoint was successful. My program had the EIBRLDBK field value to be '00'. Does that means the rollback was successful?. I just wanted to know the values for EIBRLDBK when the rollback was successful

This field isn't very well documented (e.g. the CICS/TS application programming reference just describes it as 'rolled back' with no values) but as far as I can see from looking at different versions of the CICS manuals and how other similar fields are used, it is set to a non-zero value, probably x'FF', to indicate that the remote task in an LU6.2 conversation has issued a successful SYNCPOINT ROLLBACK and that the local task must now decide what it wants to do (i.e. whether it also wants to rollback or not). As far as I can tell this field is not relevant to other rollback situations not involving a remote LU6.2 partner.

Thanks Mike. I have one more doubt. If the ROLLBACK was not successful wat would happen?.Will the lowvalues be populated?

That's what I would expect, but as it's not properly documented, ideally you should test this (but I'm not sure exactly how).
