I'm pretty new to this whole CICS thing, so I apologize in advance if my terminology isn't quite there...
Anyway, I'm doing a basic CICS program that will be used to enter orders (the user will enter details including name, address, products ordered, etc). There's also an inquiry program to go along with this, where you can search order numbers and see all the details that the user would have entered. Inquiry is working nearly perfect, just some small tweaks need to be made to the CICS map. The problem is with the Entry program...they are both supposed to use the same map and I have absolutely no idea how to go about changing the maps properties attributes in mid program (I'm using COBOL). So for example, on the inquiry program...everything needs to be ASKIP besides the Order Number, this is working. However when I run the entry program I need to be able to change all the ASKIP values to allow me to enter data into them.
Sorry if that doesn't make all that much sense, that's the easiest way I can explain it right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!
you need to set the desired BMS fields with unprot attributes, copybook DFHBMSCA contains field/values
for the various map field attributes.
map field attributes are "A" suffixed found in your BMS map copybook dsect.
namel
namea < attribute byte --
nameo
