- ACEE
- The Access Control Environment Element (ACEE) is created by an external
security manager when a CICS user signs on. This option not supported in JCICS.
- COMMAREA
- A COMMAREA contains user data that is passed with a command. The COMMAREA
pointer is passed automatically to the linked program by the CommAreaHolder argument
. See Command arguments for more information.
- CWA
- The Common Work Area (CWA) contains global user data, sharable between
tasks. This option is not supported in JCICS.
- EIB
- The EXEC Interface Block contains
information about the CICS command last executed. Access to EIB values is
provided by methods on the appropriate objects. For example,
- eibtrnid
- is returned by the getTransactionName() method of the Task class.
- eibaid
- is returned by the getAIDbyte() method of the TerminalPrincipalFacility class.
- eibcposn
- is returned by the getRow() and getColumn() methods
of the Cursor class.
- TCTUA
- The Terminal Control Table User Area (TCTUA) contains user data associated
with the terminal that is driving the CICS transaction (the principal facility).
This area is used to pass information between application programs, but only
if the same terminal is associated with the application programs involved.
The contents of the TCTUA can be obtained using the getTCTUA() method
of the TerminalPrincipalFacility class.
- TWA
- The Transaction Work Area (TWA) contains user data that is associated
with the CICS task. This area is used to pass information between application
programs, but only if they are in the same task. A copy of the TWA can be
obtained using the getTWA() method of the Task class.
