Starting and Stopping the EZASOKET Interface with a Program Link

You can start or stop the EZASOKET interface by issuing an EXEC CICS LINK to program EZACIC20. Make sure you include the following steps in the LINKing program:

• Define the COMMAREA for EZACIC20. This can be done by including the EZACICA.CPY copybook in your program.
• Initialize the COMMAREA values as follows:

  P20TYPE	I Initialization T Immediate Termination D Deferred Termination
  P20OBJ	C CICS EZASOKET interface L Listener
  P20LIST	Name of listener if this is listener initialization/termination.

• Issue the EXEC CICS LINK to program EZACIC20.
  Note:

  EZACIC20 will not return until the function is complete.

• Check the P20RET field for the response from EZACIC20.
  Note:

  Note: If the EZASOKET interface is not in startup or termination and no COMMAREA was provided, the E20L user abend code is issued by EZACIC20.
