Translation required for EXEC CICS LINK command

Application programs that use the EXEC CICS LINK form of the external CICS® interface command must translate their programs before assembly or compilation. You do this using the version of the CICS translator that is appropriate for the language of your client program, specifying the translator option EXCI.

The translator option EXCI is mutually exclusive with the CICS and DLI options.

For more information about translating programs that contain EXEC CICS commands, see The CICS-supplied translators.
