Can you clearly tell your problem.
SPA is area from where u get/put data while working with IMS DC.
If you are using SPA , ur first GU should be for SPA, & first ISRT should be for SPA, the next GU/ISRT should be actual segment.
what you were trying with SPA

05 SPA-ZZ PIC S9(4) COMP.
05 SPA-CI PIC S9(4) COMP.

in procedure division
CALL 'CBLTDLI' USING DLI-GU
IO-PCB-MASK
SPA-IO-AREA.
