NEXT TRANSACTION ID

The data type of the NEXT TRANSACTION ID special attribute is Text. You can modify it with the SET NEXTTRAN statement, but you cannot inspect its contents.

If, at the conclusion of procedure step execution, the Next Transaction ID special attribute contains a non-blank value, the Dialog Manager will attempt to cause the transaction specified to be invoked using the facilities of the teleprocessing monitor (for instance, IMS, CICS and TSO). This feature is used to implement dialog flows to non-CA Gen-generated transactions.

This is an example of how NEXT TRANSACTION ID is used:

SET NEXTTRAN TO
CONCAT(“DM01”,CONCAT(“ “,customer name))
