Delivered Modules for z/OS

Module Data Set Description Notes
COBSRVI EXP109.SRCE CICS generic RPC services with EXEC CICS LINK interface. 2
COBDFH EXP109.SRCE CICS CSD definitions of CICS generic RPC services COBSRVI with EXEC CICS LINK interface. 2
ERXCOMM EXP109.INCL RPC communication area. 1
ERXVSTR EXP109.INCL RPC communication area extension copybook. 4
ERXRCSRV EXP109.SRCE C main module for application errors. 3
ERXRCSRV EXP109.LD00 Ready-to-use ERXRCSRV module for application errors. 3
EXPCSRVI EXX109.JOBS JCL to compile the CICS generic RPC service module COBSRVI with EXEC CICS LINK interface. 2

  • EXP109.INCL
    The Generic RPC include data set may be delivered as a patch with a different name EXP109.INnn, where nn is the patch level number. Make sure you install the highest patch level available. The data set is required to SYSLIB input for the COBOL compiler.

  • EXP109.SRCE
    The Generic RPC source data set may be delivered as a patch with a different name EXP109.S0nn, where nn is the patch level number. Make sure you install the highest patch level available. The data set is required to SYSLIB input for the COBOL compiler.

Notes:

  1. The ERXCOMM copybook enables an RPC client to specify and retrieve data for RPC communication. For usage refer to ERXCOMM Copybook under Using the Generated Copybooks.
  2. See Generation and Usage of Generic RPC Service Module COBSRVI.
  3. See Using RETURN-CODE Special Register (COBOL only) under Scenarios and Programmer Information in the RPC Server for CICS documentation.
  4. The optional ERXVSTR copybook is an extension to the ERXCOMM copybook. It enables an RPC client to specify long data strings (e.g. passwords). For usage see ERXVSTR Copybook under Using the Generated Copybooks.
