Hello everybody.

I would like to start this topic by thanking everybody who contributed in the previous topics I created.
Now I'm coming to ask for your help with a BIG problem I have for a long long time.
When I compile a COBOL-CICS program using a JCL, after that I go to the CICS region.
In the Terminal window I see the following message:

Select all

LSR pool 1 is being built dynamically by CICS because all of the
necessary parameters have not been supplied. Either there is no
LSRPOOL definition or it is incomplete. The following are not
defined:  'CI SIZE' 'STRINGS' 'MAXKEYLENGTH'. A delay is possible.

If I execute the COBOL-CICS program in debug mode (CEDF) everything runs fine.
If I execute the COBOL-CICS program without CEDF sometimes it runs well, but most of the times the program window show the "clock image" (and I believe that such an image represents that the program is processing) and the program "freezes" there.
When the program freezes it does not respond to nothing, and even if I wait several minutes it still does not change.
For example in the pseudo-conversational program for the LEAP YEAR I created.
The program 1 receives the input and validates the input (number of the gregorian year).
If the program 1 has validated the number then passes that number to the program 2.
Then, the program 2 makes the calculation if the year is a LEAP YEAR or a COMMON YEAR.
In my tests with the CICS the program freezes after receiving the first input in program 1.
The situation happens if I insert an invalid input or a valid input.
The problem has happened in almost all the programs I executed on CICS, conversational or pseudo-conversational.
I have not tried with the program CARPRG that uses the VSAM ESDS, but I think it will have the same problem.
I have looked it in the internet and I think that LSR pool 1 is the default pool.

This is the JCL I'm using to compile the COBOL-CICS programs, I'm adding this in case it's necessary to change it.

I've been preventing this situation by always executing the program in CEDF but this is not practical.
I would like to know what is the advice you can provide me.

Thank you,
Roger

The LSR pool message indicates that CEDA has not been used to completely define LSR pool 1 -- specific values for the three mentioned parameters have not been provided. This is informational since, as the message says, CICS will dynamically provide values for the missing parameters and complete the LSR pool definition. The values CICS uses may not be optimal for your region but they will still work.

The program 1 receives the input and validates the input (number of the gregorian year).
If the program 1 has validated the number then passes that number to the program 2.
Then, the program 2 makes the calculation if the year is a LEAP YEAR or a COMMON YEAR.
In my tests with the CICS the program freezes after receiving the first input in program 1.
The situation happens if I insert an invalid input or a valid input.

How is program 2 invoked from program 1? The options are COBOL CALL, EXEC CICS LINK, EXEC CICS XCTL and they each work differently. Program "freezing" in CICS is often caused by a loop in the code, and there are many possible reasons for a loop (such as a variable doesn't have enough digits in its PICTURE, an IF statement that will never be true -- or false, invalid logic in the code, etc). If the program executes okay in CEDF but fails when run without CEDF, I've seen this problem occur in the past when multiple map sends were executed without an intervening map receive.

Good afternoon Mr. Robert Sample.

First of all, thank you very much for your answer.
Today I tested the two programs LEAPYER and LEAPCAL in CICS.
This is a pseudo-conversational program.
First I executed in the CICS region using CEDF, I tested with 3 different years and it run well in all cases.
Then I made CESF LOGOFF to exit CICS.
After that I entered again in the CICS region and executed the same programs but without CEDF.
The program shows the first send map, requesting the gregorian year.
I write the number, for example 2000 and I press enter.
The program LEAPYER freezes immediately.
I waited 8 minutes, and when I came back, the program was still frozen.
The program was completely irresponsive, I pressed pause key and enter key and it did not answer.

This is the MAP/MAPSET I'm using, LEAPMAP.
The program LEAPYER has got the TRANSACTION LBEG (LEAPYER BEGIN).
The program LEAPCAL has got the TRANSACTION LCAL (LEAPYER CALCULATE).

This is the code of the MAP/MAPSET I'm using, LEAPMAP:

As I suspected in my earlier post, you have a RECEIVE MAP in your LEAPYER program after the SEND MAP. You then go to LEAPCAL and do a RECEIVE MAP again -- without an intervening SEND MAP. This is what caused your terminal to lock. The solution is to take the RECEIVE MAP out of LEAPYER or LEAPCAL. If you take the RECEIVE MAP out of LEAPCAL, you will need to pass the year value to it in your COMMAREA; if you take the RECEIVE MAP out of LEAPYER, you will merely need to recompile the program, newcopy it, and you should get better results.

Hello everybody.

First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer to this e-mail, but I had some personal problems that needed to take care of.

I haven't yet tried to perform the operations you mention in the post but I will do it in the next days.

Thank you very much for your help.

I wish you a good day.

Roger

Good afternoon everybody.

Today I've changed the programs LEAPYER/LEAPCAL according to the advice given by Mr. Robert Sample.

Considering that I wanted the first program LEAPYER to receive the number of the year and validate it, so that only if it was a valid number could be passed to the second program, LEAPCAL, I decided to remove the RECEIVE MAP out of LEAPCAL.

In the LEAPYER program I changed the following part:

Select all

EXEC CICS RETURN    
      TRANSID('LCAL')   
      COMMAREA(YOUT)    
      LENGTH(4)         
    END-EXEC.

This is the code of the program LEAPCAL now:

I compiled LEAPYER/LEAPCAL with success (MAXCC = 0) in both cases.

Then, I went to the CICS region, first I executed the program in debug mode with CEDF, and I tested with 3 different years and the program run well in all cases.

After that I made CESF LOGOFF, to logoff CICS.

I entered again in the CICS region and I executed the same program(s) but without CEDF.

After I enter the first number for the year, and I press enter, the program freezes again.

So, the problem remains even after I commented out the RECEIVE MAP in LEAPCAL.

Thank you,

Roger

Hello Everybody.
First of all, I would like to apologize for all the time I've been away from this forum.
Please bear with me, for a "small" explanation.
I've made a training course of programming skills.
In 2018, I was unemployed, and I was learning COBOL, and Mainframes, in order to get a job as a Cobol/Mainframe Programmer.
Because I didn't received any "firm offers", I had to accept another job, a job that does not require me to use COBOL or Mainframes.
In my new job, most of the weeks, I have to work 6 days a week, so I hope you understand that I don't have a lot of time to dedicate myself to COBOL/Mainframes.
I would still like to continue developing my knowledge about these topics, but to be honest, if I don't see any perspective of getting a job that suits these skills, that will probably be discouraging.
Truth be told, I would like to thank you all, even those individuals that criticised me, for all the feedback, help and support.
However, I would like to give a special thank you to Mr. Robert Sample, for all the contributions he gave me.
Mr. Robert Sample, I know we are an ocean appart, but I'm grateful for all your help.
I hope I can try to continue working on new programs, sooner than later.
This is not a goodbye, it's just a pause.
Thank you oncemore,
Roger
