Transaction Code Naming Rules

CA Gen uses these standard naming conventions for transaction codes regardless of the type of packaging used.

• Transaction code names must be unique within the set of all such names in the model
• One to eight alphanumeric characters
• First character must be alphabetic

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

If you want the application user to have a meaningful transaction code with which to invoke certain procedure steps, assign the clear screen transaction code manually. The Complete option uses a numeric transaction code that may not be as useful as a mnemonic one.
