Derivation: COBOL PUSH POP

CBLPSHPOP controls whether CICS® PUSH HANDLE and CICS POP HANDLE commands are issued when a COBOL subroutine is called.

Specify CBLPSHPOP(ON) to avoid compatibility problems when calling COBOL subroutines that contain CICS CONDITION, AID, or ABEND condition handling commands.

You can set the CBLPSHPOP run-time option on an enclave basis using CEEUOPT.

CBLPSHPOP is ignored in non-CICS environments.

Syntax

                       .-ON--.        .-OVR----.      
>>-CBLPSHPOP--=--(--(--+-OFF-+--)--,--+-NONOVR-+--)------------><

ON

Automatically issues the following when a COBOL subroutine is called:

• An EXEC CICS PUSH HANDLE command as part of the routine initialization.
• An EXEC CICS POP HANDLE command as part of the routine termination.

OFF

Does not issue CICS PUSH HANDLE and CICS POP HANDLE commands on a call to a COBOL subroutine.

OVR

Specifies that the option can be overridden.

NONOVR

Specifies that the option cannot be overridden.

CICS considerations

If your application calls COBOL subroutines under CICS, performance is better with CBLPSHPOP(OFF) than with CBLPSHPOP(ON).
