Inter_View_Qns2

 

1.    Where do we use TSQs 

                Data in TSQ is stored as VSAM files

a.    Pageup and Pagedown Logic

b.    For writing Log Details (as we cant use Displays in CICS)

 

2.    How do we access the TSQ using a Key field

a.    Using RIDFIELD

 

3.    What is Sync Point and why is called as 2 Phase Commit

a.    Sync point is issued to save the data till that LUW.

b.    This is called as 2 Phase commit as , first it saves the data pertaining to File, Db2 then CICS data.

4.    I would like to generate only Input field (along with A, F, L) and not Output files in my Symbolic Map, how to achieve this ?

a.    Use Mode = IN   , in BMS macro

5.    How do you position your cursor on Map.

a.    Code   IC, in Attribute field of BMS macro of respective field

b.    Move -1 to Length field of respective field

c.    Using SEND MAP    CURSOR ( 100 )

6.    How do you test Physical Map layout in CICS region.

a.    Use CECI send Map () Mapset()

7.    What’s the debugging tool used for CICS

a.    We use CEDF/Intertest/Expeditor.

8.    How do you test / check the Cobol flow thru CEDF

a.    Use the Option TRACE

9.    How do Read a Vsam file  from Bottom to Top

a.    Move HIGH-VALUES to WS-KEY  and read previous

10.                       How do you execute Even steps in a job. Eg . execute only step2 in below example

//job1    job   ACC, Class=a,

//step1

//step2

//step3

    1. We can use the utility IEBEDIT or Use COND parameter. To skip first step use COND=ONLY, (this will flush the step1)

NULL VALUES and NULL INDICATORS in DB2

In DB2, the columns defined as NULL needs to be handled carefully else it will throw null exception error, in order to over come this error data type can be handled by using null indicator . NULL is stored using a special one-byte null indicator that is "attached" to every nullable column. If the column is set to NULL, then the indicator field is used to record this. Using NULL will never save space in a DB2 database design - in fact, it will always add an extra byte for every column that can be NULL. The byte is used whether or not the column is actually set to NULL. The indicator variable is transparent to an end user Consider below Table : Create Table SAMP_TAB SN CHAR (10) SNAME CHAR (10) STATUS CHAR (2) NOT NULL BY DEFAULT CITY CHAR (10) NOT NULL Note :: Unless you specify NOT NULL, the default is to allow for NULL In above table SN and SNAME columns holds null values by default, in order to handle these null variables we need to have NULL-INDICATORS declares in the Pro

How to Solve SOC7 Abend - with screen shots

Below process helps to find out the statement, caused the SOC7 error. Check the Sysout of RUNJCL . This shows the error statement and lists offset value Take the Offset Value 000003C0 Got to respective Compilation Job listing, check the sysprint Search for the offset value 0003C0 (delete +00 -- initial 3 letters of Offset value and search for it) check below 2 screen shots This Offset value is listed under line no 0045 – which refers to Move statement. Take this no. 045 and find for it in same sysprint. This points to the exact statement, caused SOC7 T his 045 pints to the Move statement 1526, this is the exact line in the program Check for the above line no. In source program . This points to the statement highlighted below . Check the statement, variable check-4, which is added to check-6. These are having different Picture clause. check-4 is alfhanumaric, holding some junk data, when this data is moved to Chcek-6 variable(of comp-3) creates SOC7 error. This is just an example to e
