EBCXMTRN Statement Parameters

The following parameters are specified in the EBCXMTRN statements:

TYPE=SAR|GEN

Specifies whether this is a transaction/database entry or the table is to be generated.

GEN: Generates the table
SAR: Contains a transaction code and index entry for CA View. EXPRESS and INB are valid for CA Deliver and CA Balancing Report Control (CA Balancing) if this is a combined table.

TRANID=tranid

Defines the transaction identifier for CICS.

For TSO, ISPF, and CA Roscoe (the cross-memory drivers), TRANID is ignored, and the first instance of the database high-level qualifier is used.

INDEX=high-level-name

Defines the high-level name of the CA View database.

TIMEOUT=nnn

Defines the time-out value, in seconds, to be used by this transaction.

This value is used as the maximum wait time for a response from the SARXMS started task.
This value must be greater than zero and less than 9999 seconds (which is two hours, 40 minutes).
If you do not want any timeout to occur, you may specify TIMEOUT=NO.

Default: 240 seconds (four minutes).

SUBSYS=subsys-id

Defines a four-character MVS subsystem name, which must match the value specified for SUBSYS in the cross-memory started task JCL.

Each subsystem can support multiple databases and/or CICS/IMS regions.

Default: XMC1.

Note:

There is no need to change the default unless you wish to bring up multiple cross-memory regions and separate transactions for testing or performance reasons.
This subsystem name is not defined in SYS1.PARMLIB.

RECON=YES|NO

Indicates whether a user can reconnect to a lost session.

Default: NO.

MSGSUPP=YES|NO

Indicates whether a termination message is displayed when a session is terminated by a user.

Default: NO. This does not suppress messages generated from abnormal termination.

Note: The statements follow standard assembler coding conventions.
