Migrating DTP applications

Two areas are discussed:
  1. The differences between TXSeries for Multiplatforms application programming and CICS/MVS 2.1 application programming. These differences are discussed to allow you to modify non-TXSeries for Multiplatforms applications so that they can run in TXSeries for Multiplatforms. This is referred to as migration.
  2. Writing applications in such a way as to allow them to run in TXSeries for Multiplatforms and in other CICS® products. This is referred to as portability.

Migration and portability of DTP applications can be easily achieved through careful analysis of the differences between some of the CICS commands and network protocol. Those differences are discussed in the following sections.
