Input
parameters are passed to the encode function in a COMMAREA. The parameters
include:
- The address and length of the COMMAREA returned by the CICS® application
program. If no application program was called, the COMMAREA is passed unchanged
from the decode function.
- An eight byte user token, used to share information between the analyzer
and converter programs. See Sharing data between analyzer and converter programs.
- An iteration counter that records the number of times the encode function
has been entered for each HTTP request. The counter is set to 1 before the
encode function is called for the first time, and is incremented before it
is called on each subsequent occasion.
