This article was previously published under Q182667 SYMPTOMS
When using Component Builder (CB), it is not possible to use a return value
for the length specifier of an OCCURS DEPENDING ON (ODO) output parameter.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned in the STATUS
section of this article. With the hotfix, you can use the return value as
the length specifier for an ODO array. For this to work, the following
conditions must be true:
- The Remote Environment (RE) must be non-link (that is, it must be IMS or
CICS).
- The ODO array must be output only.
- The return value must be a simple numeric type and must occur before the
array and any other variable-length tables in the buffer (as is the case
with other ODO arrays).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft COM Transaction
Integrator for CICS and IMS version 1.0. This problem was corrected in
the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on
