I don't know if the direct interface is supported (the CA-7 Interfaces guide doesn't mention CICS), but you could submit a batch job to the internal reader of CICS with a trailer step to demand in a job.

How you want to do something and the possibility of actually doing it in the way that you want to do it depends entirely on the product functionality available.

There have been two suggestions made, either of which would satisy your requirement. Obviously the methods suggested do not satisfy your want.

Why not contact CA and see what they can do to help you, after all, they are the product vendors and if you can not find any mention of what you want, rather than need, on google, then they would be the best people to contact.

Personally, I would consider the lack of Google information a great big sign that perhaps what I want to accomplish cannot be done in the way I want. You, obviously, don't agree.

I echo expat -- open a problem with CA to find out whether or not their product supports what you want to do. If they tell you that you cannot do what you want, perhaps they can suggest an acceptable alternative.
