Setting up a CICS transaction
To set up a CICS transaction, first open the settings for the Proc Dialog part, then fill in the following fields on the Destination Information page of the notebook:
Transaction ID
The transaction ID of the CICS transaction you want to run.
Program Name
The name of the program you want CICS to run.
Server Name
The name of the server where the transaction you want to run is located.
You can also specify values in the optional security fields of the settings notebook. Fill in the following fields on the Destination page:
User ID
The user ID required to access the remote system.
Password
The password required to access to remote system.
Fill in the following fields on the Data Attributes page:
Code page
The character code page used by the remote system. The default code page is the current code page for the system.
Buffer length
The size of the memory buffer VA Smalltalk allocates for the data sent to and received from the server. For a proc dialog, the buffer size must be at least as large as the total size of the record used by the remote program logic.
The default value for this field is 1024.
Big endian
A check box that determines the byte order for integers sent to the partner. If checked, the partner uses a BigEndian format; otherwise the partner uses LittleEndian format.
On AIX, CICS clients communicating with Intel servers do not support BigEndian to LittleEndian translation.
