what are the differences between DFHCOMMAREA and TSQ ?..

Answer / abhishek_yadav_ibm

DFHcommarea is the area for storing the the passing value from calling program and it is in the scope of execution of the program but tsq can be refered by the several program ..

In sort and sweet words we can say DFHCOMAREA is a local temporary storage area but TSQ is global storage area which is visible to different different program.

I do think I am correct but kindly correct me if I am mistaken anywhere..

Answer / harsha

DFHCOMMAREA is the area that contains the data passed by
the calling program. The length of this area is EIBCALEN.
So basically it works between the two programs to pass tghe
the date from one program to another program. Data can not
be passed to BATCH programs.

TSQ is the Temporary Storage Queue. It works the same way
as DFHCOMMAREA and can be used to pass the data between two
programs. It also used to communicate with the Batch
programs as well.
