Running the sample client programs

After you set up the NACT transaction, the Link3270 environment, and the clients, you can run the sample client programs.

• Running the samples from a CICS-based client
  1. At a CICS terminal, enter the transaction name BRCO (for the COBOL sample) or BRCH (for the C sample).
• Running the samples from a z/OS-based client
  1. To run the samples, you can use the following sample JCL supplied in file DFH$BRXJ in SDFHINST. You must edit this JCL as follows:

     hlq

     Specify your own prefix, which is assigned during CICS installation.

     application library

     Specify the name of the library that contains the load modules.

     Note: Run this job in the z/OS batch environment.
