Function shipping and DPL

For function shipping and DPL from an ASCII system to CICS® on System/390®, the ASCII system converts the resource names, and CICS on System/390 converts the user data (see Table 2).

For function shipping Start of changeand DPLEnd of change to an ASCII system from CICS on System/390, the ASCII system does all the necessary conversion.

Conversion of Start of changeapplication dataEnd of change is done field-by-field. Thus, ensure that the size of each field in the Start of changeapplication dataEnd of change is sufficient to hold the result of the conversion applied to it. (This is particularly relevant where a field in the Start of changeapplication dataEnd of change may contain both SBCS and DBCS characters).
