Defining CICS transactions for asynchronous communication to IMS

A DEFINE TRANSACTION REMOTENAME (or DFHPCT TYPE=REMOTE RMTNAME) is needed for every IMS edit name or MID name that is to be referenced by a transaction created as the result of a CICS® START command.

The 4-character CICS transaction ID used on the START command is converted to the name of the IMS editor or to an MFS MID name, each of which can be up to 8 characters.
