Special handling for certain types of Link3270 Bridge
applications
This section describes the special
handling that is required for certain types of Link3270 Bridge applications.
SEND TEXT support
The service flow project tools support the CICS® interaction pattern for the back-end
application of a RECEIVE MAP instruction, followed by a SEND
TEXT instruction. This is accomplished by providing the SNA_TEXT_AREA
and SNA_FIELDS system messages.
RETURN command without TRANSID parameter This topic describes how to handle the
scenario in which a service flow communicates with a transaction using
Link3270 Bridge, and the transaction contains an application screen
where the transaction returns and another transaction is launched
in its place. If the original transaction returns by using a RETURN
command without a TRANSID parameter, then the CICS Service Flow Runtime terminates the service
flow with a runtime error CIA07014E (DFHMA07014E). You can fix this
problem by adding a small amount of special handling to the service
flow.
SEND MAP without MAPSET name
An application might issue a SEND MAP without specifying the MAPSET
option on the EXEC CICS SEND MAP request.
