CMSG examples

These examples show you how to modify the behavior of CMSG by changing the parameters.

Here are some typical examples of the CMSG transaction. Examples 1, 2, 3, and 9 are possible candidates for inclusion in a sequential (BSAM) terminal input stream during startup.

In these examples, # represents a new-line character.
