ADDRESS

See the CICS® Application Programming Reference manual for information about the EXEC CICS ADDRESS command. The following support is provided for the ADDRESS options.

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.
