20040010 K/KV cannot be mapped to PIC G: <library>/<program>/<parameter>
Explanation

The IDL type K or KV (Kanji) was specified with an uneven length. This runs into conflict with COBOL data type GRAPHIC, which requires exactly half the length of IDL type K/KV.

For example, the IDL

1 MyKanji (K10)

corresponds to the COBOL

01 MyKanji  PIC G(5) DISPLAY-1.

Explanation

Container names are restricted to 16 characters by CICS. An optional text gives more information.

Action

Depending on the situation:

  • Shorten the structure name representing the container in the IDL to fit to this restriction.

  • If variable number of containers are used with an IDL unbounded array (see array-definition) with maximum, restrict the number of containers.

See CICS Channel Container IDL Rules in the COBOL Wrapper documentation.

See CICS Channel Container IDL Rules in the COBOL Wrapper documentation.

Action

Correct your IDL and retry.


20040016 CICS container <container> already used for <direction> : <library>/<program>/<parameter>

Container for CICS must be unique for input as well as for output. You cannot use them twice. In an IDL program an IDL structure, representing a container, is referenced twice for the same direction.

Action

Correct your IDL and retry.


20040017 IDL requires RPC protocol <protocol> - downgrade not possible
Explanation

Depending on the IDL types given in your IDL, a minimum RPC protocol version is required. You can upgrade it but never go beyond this lower limit.

  • According to IBM's APAR PQ06624, exceeding the 24 KB limit can cause problems if no length is given in EXEC CICS LINK calls.

  • The normal upper limit for the length of the CICS DFHCOMMAREA is approx. 31 KB.

The appendix of the message gives you the IDL library and IDL program causing the warning.

Action

Correct your program and refer to your IBM CICS documentation.
