Assigning Transaction Codes

You can manually add transaction codes to a load module and then assign them to the packaged procedure steps during packaging. Otherwise use the Complete option. The Construction Client will automatically add and assign transaction codes for you during load module generation.

These transaction codes allow navigation between procedure steps. If you want the application user to have a meaningful transaction code with which to invoke certain procedure steps, you may want to assign your own clear screen transaction codes to them.

For the server procedures, specify the dialog flow transaction code and a clear screen transaction code. Although clear screen transaction codes are not required for servers since they do not have screens, currently if you do not specify a transaction code, a TIRM629E message will display.

For the client procedures, specify the clear screen transaction codes. You can also specify the dialog flow transaction codes, which are optional but are used by the generator if specified.

Note: CICS transaction code names should not start with the letter C and should not exceed four characters in length.
