Creating transactions and transaction descriptors dynamically

Use the type-2 command CREATE TRAN to dynamically create a transaction. Use the type-2 command CREATE TRANDESC to create a transaction descriptor.

You can reference an existing transaction or transaction descriptor to use as a model by specifying the LIKE() parameter.

The CREATE TRAN and CREATE TRANDESC commands are valid only in DB/DC and DCCTL systems.

In a shared message queues environment, the CREATE TRAN command creates a transaction, even if there are messages on the shared message queues for the transaction. If the messages were placed on the shared message queues using conversation, Fast Path, response, or serial attributes that differ from the attributes defined for the new transaction, the IMS system in which the new transaction is being created will be unable to access the messages on the shared message queues.
