Preparation

Before using a converter, you must:

1. Translate the converter using the appropriate CICS® translator. If it is a COBOL program, you must use the QUOTE translator directive.
2. Compile the output from the translator.
3. Link the converter as a standard CICS application program into a CICS load library used by the CICS system on which CICS ONC RPC is installed.
4. Define the converter to CICS as a program.
5. Use the connection manager to specify the converter in one of the 4-tuple definitions, and define which of the converter functions are required for that 4-tuple.
