CONNECT PROCESS command
Initiates an APPC mapped conversation by allowing an application to specify a process name and synchronization level to be passed to CICS and used when the remote partner is attached. In Smalltalk, the parameters of the CONNECT PROCESS command are contained in two classes: CICSAppcconnectprocess and CICSAppcconnectprocessResult.
See CICS Application Programming Reference for the syntax of the command and a description of the parameters.
