Interesting interview question.....
I'll assume that you mis-heard the question, because a "non-conversation" would not happen.....
I'll also assume that you did not bother to search, because that subject has been answered many times.....
As for the example, you are kidding, right?

you are right its actually between conversation and pseudo-conversation, I saw the previous posts but i couldn't find any example code for them.

that's why i re-posted it.

if you have any link where i can get that code please provide me.

conversational ::

exec cics send
exec cics receive



pseudo conversational

exec cics send
exec cics return transid ('xxxx')


next response will trigger transaction XXXX, which performs
exec cics receive

That means the transaction is using resources while the user is thinking about replying, this is not allowed in the shops I have worked in.

I thought the question was? difference and examples of conversational and pseudo-conversational code

Yes, true conversational is a "NO NO" in most shops.

Its funny, most of IBM's supplied transaction are conversational,

CESN, CEMT, CEDA, CECI, etc., but shops don't complain about them..
