On a RECEIVE, CICS updates the EIB with the following information:

  1. The screen cursor position relative to most appropriate field is placed in EIBCPOSN

  2. The screen cursor position relative to zero is placed in EIBCPOSN

  4. The name of the output key the terminal operator pressed is placed in the field EIBAID

A Correct answer
Explanation

During a BMS RECEIVE operation, CICS populates EIBCPOSN with the cursor position relative to the appropriate field on the screen. EIBAID would contain the attention identifier (key pressed), not on RECEIVE. The COMMAREA length (EIBCALEN) is not determined during RECEIVE.
