Hi

How can I get data on transaction initialization ?

Ex:
in CICS I start transaction with data

TRA1 12345 data1

TRA1 in a transaction name
12345 and data1 are data I want to get into a related program without sending or receiving map.

Thanks

Hi,

I guess the following command will suit ur need

retrieve input data from a terminal
EXEC CICS RECEIVE { INTO(data-area) | SET(pointer-ref) } { LENGTH(data-area) | FLENGTH(data-area) } [MAXLENGTH(data-value) | MAXFLENGTH(data-value)] [NOTRUNCATE] [ASIS] [BUFFER] END-EXEC.

I haven't checked it.. if some one confirms..that will be great!!!!
