SYMPTOMS
When an application calls a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 Transaction Integrator method to send data to a CICS application, the CICS application abends (terminates). Additionally, the CICS application returns an error to Transaction Integrator. Additionally, Transaction Integrator logs an error message in the Application log that resembles the following:

Event Source: COMTI Event ID: 102 Description: (102) Transaction Integrator reported the following exception to the client: Component: Component Name Method: Method Name Exception description: (1609) The destination program terminated with an abend code of 1007. CICS Mirror Transaction Transaction Name, destination program Destination Program Name.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The Transaction Integrator method contains parameters that are defined as double automation data types.
 * The Transaction Integrator method maps the double automation data types to PIC S9(9) COMP COBOL data types.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Transaction Integrator does not map double automation data types to COMP COBOL data types.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, the following conversion mapping can be manually added at the end of the Lbmcobol.xml file in the %SNAROOT% (C:\Program Files\ Microsoft Host Integration Server\system) directory. This conversion mapping allows for double automation data types to be mapped to COMP COBOL data types:
