When control is returned from DFHZNEP, DFHZNAC performs the actions specified
in field TWAOPTL (except when disconnecting logical units, as noted above),
issuing messages and setting error codes, as necessary.

The communication area

After DFHZNEP receives control from DFHZNAC, it obtains the address of the
communication area by means of an EXEC CICS ADDRESS COMMAREA
command. Figure 24 illustrates the general structure of the communication area.
The significance of each section of the communication area is described below:

Header

A 4-byte header common to all user-replaceable programs.

Error_being_processed

Identifiers of the error code and the terminal associated with the error.

User option bytes

Flags that indicate the default actions set by DFHZNAC, and that may be
reset within DFHZNEP.

Additional info. for NEP

Other useful information for the NEP.
