EXEC interface block fields

An application program can read all the fields in the EXEC interface block (EIB) of the associated task by name. An application must not change the contents of any of the fields, other than through an EXEC CICS command.

For each EIB field, the contents and format (for each of the application programming languages COBOL, C, PL/I, and Assembler) are given. Fields explained are EIBAID, EIBATT, EIBCALEN, EIBCOMPL, EIBCONF, EIBCPOSN, EIBDATE, EIBDS, EIBEOC, EIBERR, EIBERRCD, EIBFMH, EIBFN, EIBFREE, EIBNODAT, EIBRCODE, EIBRECV, EIBREQID, EIBRESP, EIBRESP2, EIBRLDBK, EIBRSRCE, EIBSIG, EIBSYNC, EIBSYNRB, EIBTASKN, EIBTIME, EIBTRMID, and EIBTRNID.

All fields contain binary zeros in the absence of meaningful information. Fields are listed in alphabetic order.

EIBAID
Contains the attention identifier (AID) associated with the last terminal control or basic mapping support (BMS) input operation from a display device such as the 3270. 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibaid;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBATT
Indicates that the RU contains attach header data (X'FF'). 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibatt;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBCALEN
Contains the length of the communication area that has been passed to the application program from the last program, using the COMMAREA and LENGTH options. If no communication area is passed, this field contains binary zeros. 
COBOL:     PIC S9(4) COMP.
C:         short int eibcalen;
PL/I:      FIXED BIN(15)
Assembler: H
EIBCOMPL
Indicates, on a terminal control RECEIVE command, whether the data is complete (X'FF'). If the NOTRUNCATE option has been used on the RECEIVE command, CICS® retains data in excess of the amount requested via the LENGTH or MAXLENGTH option. EIBRECV is set indicating that further RECEIVE commands are required. EIBCOMPL is not set until the last of the data has been retrieved.
EIBCOMPL is always set when a RECEIVE command without the NOTRUNCATE option is executed. 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibcompl;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBCONF
Indicates that a CONFIRM request has been received (X'FF') for an APPC conversation. 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibconf;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBCPOSN
Contains the cursor address (position) associated with the last terminal control or basic mapping support (BMS) input operation from a display device such as the 3270. 
COBOL:     PIC S9(4) COMP.
C:         short int eibcposn;
PL/I:      FIXED BIN(15)
Assembler: H
EIBDATE
Contains the date the task is started; this field is updated by the ASKTIME command. The date is in packed decimal form (0CYYDDD+) where C shows the century with values 0 for the 1900s and 1 for the 2000s. For example, the date 31 December 1999 has the EIBDATE value of 0099365 and the date 1 January 2000 has an EIBDATE value of 0100001.

At midnight, if EIBTIME has the value of 0240000+, the value of EIBDATE is the day that has ended. If EIBTIME has the value of 0000000+, the value of EIBDATE is the day that is just beginning. 

COBOL:     PIC S9(7) COMP-3.
C:         char eibdate [4];
PL/I:      FIXED DEC(7,0)
Assembler: PL4
EIBDS
Contains the symbolic identifier of the last data set referred to in a file control request. 
COBOL:     PIC X(8).
C:         char eibds [8];
PL/I:      CHAR(8)
Assembler: CL8
EIBEOC
Indicates that an end-of-chain indicator appears in the RU just received (X'FF'). 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibeoc;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBERR
Indicates that an error has been received (X'FF') on an APPC conversation. 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eiberr;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBERRCD
When EIBERR is set, contains the error code that has been received. The following values can be returned in the first two bytes of EIBERRCD:
  • X'0889' Conversation error detected.
  • X'0824' SYNCPOINT ROLLBACK requested.
COBOL:     PIC X(4).
C:         char eiberrcd [4];
PL/I:      CHAR(4)
Assembler: CL4

See CICS mapping to the APPC architecture for information about other EIBERRCD values that can occur.

EIBFMH
Indicates that the user data received or retrieved contains an FMH (X'FF'). 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibfmh;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBFN
Contains a code that identifies the last CICS command issued by the task. 
COBOL:     PIC X(2).
C:         char eibfn [2];

EIBFREE
Indicates that the application program cannot continue using the facility. The application program should either free the facility or should terminate so that the facility is freed by CICS (X'FF'). 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibfree;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBNODAT
Indicates that no data has been sent by the remote application (X'FF'). A message has been received from the remote system that conveyed only control information. For example, if the remote application executed a SEND command with the WAIT option, any data would be sent across the link. If the remote application then executed a SEND INVITE command without using the FROM option to transmit data at the same time, it would be necessary to send the INVITE instruction across the link by itself. In this case, the receiving application finds EIBNODAT set. The use of this field is restricted to application programs holding conversations across APPC links only. 
COBOL:     PIC X(1).
C:         unsigned char eibnodat;
PL/I:      CHAR(1)
Assembler: CL1
EIBRCODE
Contains the CICS response code returned after the function requested by the last CICS command to be issued by the task has been completed.

Note: For commands where EIBRESP and EIBRESP2 are used for interrogating the resulting condition of an executed command, byte 3 of EIBRCODE has the same value as EIBRESP. Any further information is in EIBRESP2 rather than EIBRCODE. For a normal response, this field contains hexadecimal zeros (6 X'00').
Almost all of the information in this field can be used within application programs by the HANDLE CONDITION command. 
COBOL:     PIC X(6).
C:         char eibrcode [6];
PL/I:      CHAR(6)
Assembler: CL6

The following list contains the values of the bytes together with the names of the conditions associated with the return codes.

EIBRESP2
Contains more detailed information that can help explain why the RESP condition occurred. This field contains meaningful values, as documented with each command to which it applies. For requests to remote files, EIBRESP2 contains binary zeros. If a program uses DPL to link to a program in another CICS region, an EIBRESP2 from the remote region is not returned to the program doing the DPL.
For programs written in C or C++, any value passed via the exit or return function is saved in EIBRESP2. This means that when DPL is used to link to a C or C++ program in a remote region, this value is not returned to the linking program.
COBOL:     PIC S9(8) COMP.
