: We have recently created and successfully tested a CICS to MVS
: application using MVS/APPC.  If you are running MVS 4.2 or later,
: see GC28-1121 Appliction Development: Writing Transaction
: Programs for APPC/MVS, GC28-1110 APPC Management, and SC26-4399
: SAA CPIC Reference.  The first book has a list of the
: SYS1.SAMPLIB members, including IRXCAI and IRXCAO which are in
: REXX.  On the CICS side, if you are at 3.2 or later, you can use
: Command Level calls or CPIC.  We decided to use Command Level,
: since we can still use CEDF or another interactive tester like
: Intertest or Xpediter and break at the LU 6.2 calls.  I can send
: you an outline of the CICS program, if you like.  Another
: alternative is IBM's MQS, but this is cutting-edge.  The
: CICS-batch piece is apparently very straight-forward.  I have not
: personally used it, but I discussed it with someone else at AT&T
: last year.
