What is CAIVPE?

CAIVPE (Virtual Processing Environment) is an interproduct service used by CA solutions running under CA ROSCOE, TSO or CICS. It contains monitor-specific code and allows CA solutions to run independently of the environment. The routines which accomplish this are grouped under the CA z/OS service code, WU40. CAIVPE's features include:

• making environment inquiries
• making terminal inquiries
• reading/writing directly from/to sequential files
• performing upper/lower case translation
• issuing messages to both terminal and console
• checking runaway tasks
• dumping application-specific storage before giving control to the operating system
