Sample programs

CICS® supplies sample programs that demonstrate how to integrate 3270-based transactions into BTS applications.

The samples are:
  • DFH0CBAC, a client activity program
  • DFH0CBAE, a bridge exit program
  • DFH0CBAI, creates an input message
  • DFH0CBAO, processes an output message.
The samples are supplied, in COBOL source code, in the SDFHSAMP library. They contain explanatory comments. Like the pseudocode examples in this section , the samples use containers named Message , Request , and Abend.
Note: To use the samples, you will also need to compile the 3270 bridge formatter program, DFH0CBRF.

Sample resource definitions are in RDO group DFH$BABR.

The sample programs are compatible with the 3270 bridge support pack, CA1E. The BTS passthrough transaction is BRCB.
