Special handling for certain types of Link3270 Bridge applications

This section describes the special handling that is required for certain types of Link3270 Bridge applications.

SEND TEXT support
The service flow project tools support the CICS® interaction pattern for the back-end application of a RECEIVE MAP instruction, followed by a SEND TEXT instruction. This is accomplished by providing the SNA_TEXT_AREA and SNA_FIELDS system messages.
RETURN command without TRANSID parameter
This topic describes how to handle the scenario in which a service flow communicates with a transaction using Link3270 Bridge, and the transaction contains an application screen where the transaction returns and another transaction is launched in its place. If the original transaction returns by using a RETURN command without a TRANSID parameter, then the CICS Service Flow Runtime terminates the service flow with a runtime error CIA07014E (DFHMA07014E). You can fix this problem by adding a small amount of special handling to the service flow.
SEND MAP without MAPSET name
An application might issue a SEND MAP without specifying the MAPSET option on the EXEC CICS SEND MAP request.
