ISSUE PASS command

Top  Previous  Next

The EXEC CICS ISSUE PASS command can be used to disconnect a terminal from an XCICS region and transfer it to another XCICS application specified on the LUNAME option.

For example, to transfer a terminal from this XCICS to another terminal-owning region, you could issue the command:

EXEC CICS ISSUE PASS
             LUNAME(applid)

where applid is the 8 byte identifier of an application connection to which the terminal is to be transferred.

The application connection must be defined with the specified applid in:

X4J sessions list
XTND configuration file

Additionally, the ISSUE PASS can forward a data area to the other application, which can be extracted using the EXTRACT LOGONMSG command.

Please note that only XCICS to XCICS pass is available. No link with IBM CICS and/or IBM VTAM can be performed.
