Question

I have a db2 table which contains 50 rows. How can i display this data in a cics map that i have created. Is it possible? If yes, how to accomodate 50 rows of data in my screen which has a maximum of 24 rows. Thank you

Answer 1

Your screen is 24 rows by 80 columns. If your row contains less than 40 columns of data, you can create a two column display. I’m assuming your CICS pages have a header and a footer, so you don’t have all 24 rows anyway. You’ll have to create more than one CICS page to display 50 DB2 rows.

if you can put your DB2 information in one CICS field, you can do this:

LINE  DFHMDF POS=(03,01),
             LENGTH=79,
             ATTRB=(ASKIP,NORM,PROT),
             OCCURS=20 

If you need more than one CICS field, then you have to list each line individually. There is no group OCCURS in CICS.
