| START command needs TRANSID. Apart from the above mentioned, Loading PLT Program Listing Table will invoke the program at start of CICS region. Is there any way to invoke the program as mentioned above? |

Load and branch. |

Here is my requirement
Program-A - Trans -id KEC1
Program-B should be invoked after the execution of Program A, The Program B shouldn't use CALL,LINK,XCTL,MQPUT(triggering a transaction which invokes Program B after a record is written in MQ), TDQ(Automatic Trigger Level) Transid(START etc).
May be the requirement may be weird, but this was the question asked in a interview. Please let me know if there is any possibilities available. |

So, in other words, the transid remains as KEC1, but program B needs to be invoked after program A terminates? If program A is defined in the PCT to transid KEC1 and program A terminates (IE: EXEC CICS RETURN), then I don't understand how this logic path will work.
Osmosis maybe or wishful thinking?

| Have Program-C, started either during CICS initialization or by Program-A itself, wait on an ECB that Program-A will post to upon completion. Once the wait is released, Program-C can then start Program-B's transid. |
