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?

@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.
