The EXEC CICS ADDRESS CSA option will always return a null pointer/address value in the emulation.
This option is a non-portable usage due to its dependence on the specific format of internal CICS control blocks.
- System Action:
- The command and option are processed normally and a WARNING message is issued. The emulation will return a null pointer (or
address) value in the argument specified for the CSA option; any reference to data areas using this address may cause unpredictable
results.
- Resolution:
- It is recommended that the CSA option be removed. Access to standard CICS system information should be acquired using the
EXEC CICS ASSIGN command or using the CICS System Programming API commands.
