Hi guys
While runing CEDF, how to obtain the address for BLLs?
Thanks in advance

Hi
My question is
While debuging CICS transaction by using CEDF, we can use the 'PF5' to
get the value or address for working-storage variables, But how can I get
the value or address for Linkage variables, such as DFHCOMMAREA
variables?

[Mike Chantrey]

I can't remember the general method for getting Linkage Section addresses at present, but the address of DFHCOMMAREA is easy.
While stepping through with CEDF, use PF11 to get the EIB display, then PF2 to switch to hex mode and the 3rd line down will display the start of the COMMAREA in hex, and at the end of this line you will see the address of the commarea.
i.e.

Note that in the above post I refer to the 3rd line down, which is where the address was on the original screen but the lines get folded when posting.

Hi Mike
I can only find the EIB* varibales shows in 'EXEC INTERFACE
BLOCK' after presss PF11, How can I find the 'COMMAREA'?

[Mike Chantrey]

I get the COMMAREA on line 3 of the EIB display, but only if it exists (i.e. has length >0), otherwise I get a blank line. What value has EIBCALEN got on your EIB display?

Thanks Mike
Got the address for DFHCOMMAREA already, However I was wondering that is there any way to get the other linkage variables easily.
