Run the Sample APPC Conversations

To run the sample APPC conversations, choose one or more of the transactions available ($SATRNxx) and one of the following environments. The sample conversations are assumed to run between a source system (NMA) and a target (NMB). If you want to run the samples, you should replace these by the LU names of your particular systems.

Running the APPC samples involves the following steps:

• APPC environment definitions. This involves defining transactions and APPC links to both the source and the target systems. Examples of three different environments are provided.
• Running the APPC transactions. This involves starting the source procedure $SAAPSxx in the source system NMA. Information about the completion of &APPC verbs (from &RETCODE and &ZFDBK), the 'what-received' indicator (from &ZAPPCWR) and the state of the conversation (from &ZAPPCSTA) is reported in messages written to the system log. A description of the first three sample conversations is given.
