CICS(R) DPL programs and transactions can be driven through the CICS bridge when the client application resides on a workstation.
The main consideration when programming for the distributed environment is data conversion between the different encoding schemes and CCSID values of the workstation and z/OS(TM). Conversion is carried out by two different routines, one for the MQCIH structure and another for the vector.
You can ensure that the MQCIH is converted by specifying MQFMT_CICS in the MQMD.Format field. Vector conversion, however, requires a little more consideration.
To convert the SEND MAP and RECEIVE MAP vectors, do the following:
No support is provided for conversion between workstation and mainframe formats of vectors other than SEND MAP (outbound) and RECEIVE MAP (both inbound and outbound).
