Re: CICS Problem

I gess I am showing my ignorance about the AS400. I never programmed on one.

That will be a surprise to a few people :-) You may want to look at product 5722-DFH: IBM CICS® Transaction Server for i5/OS

I'm trying to compare two data items. Both are PIC X(09). Both will
contain numbers, though.

At one point in the CICS program, I have:

IF ACEMPNOI = WS-COMM-BEGIN
NEXT SENTENCE
ELSE
PERFORM 1100-START-BROWSE THRU 1100-EXIT.

The problem is, the Else branch always triggers when the program reaches
this statement, as though the two data values are different, even when I can
verify that they are not.

ACEMPNOI is the field that receives the account number from the CICS map.
WS-COMM-BEGIN is the field in the DFHCOMMAREA that contains the last
ACEMPNOI that was searched on. I save it to this COMMAREA data item
whenever the program executes a successful STARTBR.

What am I doing wrong here?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
