Suppose I have a Jave program running in z/Os USS environment.
Is it possible to execute a CICS transaction while passing input and receiving output back ? |

| Research the EXCI interface. I don't specifically know if it will handle Java, but EXCI is the approved, official way for non-CICS programs to communicate with CICS regions and programs. |

| There are logistic issues with using this interface, if your batch program has to wait for a response from the CICS transaction. That response may never come. MQSeries is preferable because it is asynchronous. |

That's correct and can be handled by pushing pop ups on GUI about timeout and retry. |
