Answer / qasim@omtech

for XCTL ,
the control never get back that's right but the control
goes to CICS itself

This is an explanation to the above answer.

XCTL:-Copy of the data is passed to the called program. it
means data changed by called program will not reflect in
calling program.

program, as soon as the calling program issues a XCTL
command, calling program will be released from memory and
called program will load into memory.

changed by called program will reflect in calling program.

It expect the control to return to calling program, called
program will not release from memory.

Answer / rajesh reddy

The link() command is used to pass ctrl from an application
progrm at one logical to another application at the next
lower logical level.The calling program expects control to
be returned.

The xctl() command is used to pass control from one
application to another application program at the same
logical level .The calling program does not expect contol
to be returned.

In both cases data can be passed through a special purpose
register COMMAREA.
