Overview:

This C/370 library provides an interface for CICS program linking using CONTAINERS and the CHANNEL mechanism.

The main method issues an EXEC CICS LINK on behalf of the caller, passing various LINK options depending on the request.

The request message is expected to hold multiple parts, one for each input CONTAINER and, on return from the CICS program, each output CONTAINER content becomes content of one of the parts in the multiple parts response.

LSLNKCTN uses the LSCOMLOG also part of this delivery.

This program has been tested for:

- CICS TS 3.1 (6.4.0)

- C/370 for OS/390 V2 R10

How to use:

Once LSLNKCTN is compiled in a library available to your CICS region in the RPL list, you might need to define it using RDO (unless programs get autoinstalled).

LSLNKCTN is not a standalone program.
