I hope some expert could help us.

We are doing a project related to AIX, CICS/ESA, LU6.2, CPI-C.
On our way to success, we got so many troubles, and we came
over almost everything. Now, we are faced by a big problem beyond
our knowledge.

We are developing programs to communicate between AIX (RS/6000)and 
CICS/ESA (IBM ES/9000) using CPI-C on LU6.2. We already wrote test 
programs in C to transfer simple strings between AIX and CICS/ESA, 
and it worked okay. Unfortunately, the mainframe guy who writes programs 
on CICS, is a PL/I expert. On the CICS side, we wrote the same PL/I 
program as the C program with that we successfully communicated with AIX. 
However the PL/I program did NOT work.

Our configuration is as follows:
        on ES/9000 side:
                MVS         version 4.2
                CICS/ESA    version 3.3
                PL/I        version 2.3.0
                C           version 1.4
                CPI-C       version 1.0
                VTAM        version 4.3
        on RS/6000 side:
                AIX         version 3.2.5
                SNA Server/6000 version 2.2
        MVS and AIX are connected by LU6.2 via ethernet

The problem is:
        when program on CICS tries to do "cmaccp()", CICS returns 
                "ABEND ASRA" error, and the program terminates;
        there was no error, when we tried to do the same thing
                except the fact that program on CICS is written in C;

We are aware of better programming environment or tools for this kind
of purpose, but we have no choice for this project.

Any help through reply to this posting or e-mail to the address below
would be okay. If you have CPIC program source written in PL/I on CICS 
or JCL that compile such program, please send it to me.

Thanks, in advance.
