You would need to write a Batch-EXCI program, which issues an EXCI LINK with a commarea, to a previously written or newly written CICS program in the target region, which issues a READQ TS (item 1 I'm assuming), loads the TSQ item 1 content into the DFHCOMMAREA, followed by a CICS RETURN back to the Batch-EXCI program and you're done! (Wow, I'm out of breath!).

What would happen if CICS were down?

This doesn't sound like a viable plan.

You need to come up with a different strategy.

HTH....

Regards,

Bill

3rd party software >> Use [URL] BBCode for External Links

provides ability to run CICS transactions from batch cobol, including
read/write/update/delete TSQ, TDQ, and VSAM files.
