statement.
In addition to back-end programs, the Natural CICS interface also
supports back-end transactions which may be specified via
RET=XXXX
or
RTI=XXXX
or
STR=XXXX
instead of a program name,
with XXXX
being a valid CICS
transaction ID.
RET=XXXX
indicates that
control has to be passed to CICS together with a return transaction ID by a
CICS RETURN TRANSID ('XXXX')
command.
RTI=XXXX
indicates that
control has to be passed to CICS with a return transaction ID by a CICS
RETURN TRANSID ('XXXX' IMMEDIATE)
command.
STR=XXXX
indicates that a new
transaction has to be started by a CICS START TRANSID
('XXXX') TERMID (*INIT-ID)
, before
relinquishing control via a CICS RETURN
command.
