Generally we check EIBALEN = 0 to decide whether first call
or not.
If I do not pass any value in the COMMAREA then EIBCALEN
will be 0 even on second call. Now how can we say the
program is called for the first time or second time?

Answer / praveen
for the first time eibcalen is zero with this we can
conclude this is first call and for the second time if u
dont pass the value for commarea the by default dfhcommarea
has one byte of memory with this we can say this is second call.

@Praveen
I don't agree with you here.
Are you sure by default the DFHCOMMAREA length is 1 on
second call?
Please check I don't think it is the case.

Answer / sandeep
dfhcommarea length is 1 by default.if you are returning a
trans-id by passing some data in commarea then the length
will be calculated depending on the data which we passed.
if you are not passing any data then i think eibcalen value
will be 1 so it enters into the next para
