Answer / bikash singhal
Eibcalen is the exec interface bloc command that is used to
indicate whether a particular program has been invoked for
the first time.
I.E EIBCALEN = 0 indicates that the program has been
invoked for the first time. For e.g. if EIBCALEN = 0 send
the menu map.

Answer / basha
If EIBCALEN=0 is used to check wheather the program is
executing for the first time r not.
If EIBCALEN=1 means that the program has executed for the
first time and the code look like
EXEC CICS RETURN
TRANSID (EIBTRNID)
COMMAREA (WS-COMMAREA)
LENGTH (1)
END-EXEC.
here from the above code u r passing length with commarea
this time ur EIBCALEN changes to 1.

EIBCALEN stands Executable Interface Block Communication
Area Length
so it counts no.of characters passing from 1 program to
another (i.e how much data we r sending...)
if EIBCALEN = 0, -->user has not enterd any data on the Map
EIBCALEN > 0 -->indicates user has enterd the data on map
