SUMMARY
A CICS LINK Remote Environment (RE) is used. A CICS COBOL application program is invoked when the client application invokes a COMTI method. The CICS program issues the EXEC CICS LINK command to start another CICS program. CICS abend ADPL occurs in the program being linked to.



MORE INFORMATION
The IBM "CICS/ESA Messages and Codes" manual provides the following information regarding the abend ADPL:

Explanation: A server program has issued a command which is restricted in the distributed program link (DPL) environment. Certain API and CPI- RR requests, and the DL/I terminate request are not allowed in the DPL environment. See the CICS/ESA Application Programming Guide for a list of these restricted commands.

A server program is a program which has been remotely linked, or a Program defined to run with the DPL subset.

Existing and new applications should be examined to verify that they do not use commands that are not supported under DPL.
