Setting Sort Code (GETSCODE)

The GETSCODE program is responsible for setting a sort code in the DFHCOMMAREA and then returning control to CICS. This is achieved by initiating the PREMIERE section, moving the literal sort code to the SORTCODE field, and executing the EXEC CICS RETURN command.

The flow starts by initiating the PREMIERE section, which marks the beginning of the logic. Then, the literal sort code is moved to the SORTCODE field of the DFHCOMMAREA. Finally, the EXEC CICS RETURN command is executed to return control back to CICS, indicating that the task is complete.

Lets' zoom into the flow:

Start PREMIERE Section​

First, the PREMIERE section is initiated. This marks the beginning of the section's logic.

       PREMIERE SECTION.
       A010.

Set Sort Code​

Next, the literal sort code is moved to the SORTCODE field of the DFHCOMMAREA. This step is crucial as it sets the sort code that will be used in subsequent operations.

           MOVE LITERAL-SORTCODE
           TO SORTCODE OF DFHCOMMAREA.

Return to CICS​

Then, the EXEC CICS RETURN command is executed. This returns control back to CICS, indicating that the current task is complete.

           EXEC CICS RETURN
           END-EXEC.
