Outbound BRIV vectors

One BRIV vector is created containing the data supplied by every EXEC CICS command for 3270 terminal output issued by the user transaction. This passes to the client all the information and data relating to the command.

The following commands are supported:
  • ISSUE ERASEUP
  • SEND
  • SEND MAP
  • SEND TEXT
  • SEND CONTROL
  • SYNCPOINT
  • SEND PAGE
  • PURGE MESSAGE
Note: SEND PAGE and PURGE MESSAGE are only available for the Link3270 bridge with extended support. See Link3270 bridge basic and extended support for an explanation of the differences between Link3270 bridge basic and extended support.
For 'conversational' transactions (see Conversational transactions ), the last BRIV vector can represent an EXEC CICS command that requests more data. This vector is only created if the previous input message did not contain a BRIV to satisfy all the CICS® commands. The following commands are supported:
  • CONVERSE request
  • RECEIVE request
  • RECEIVE MAP request
  • RETRIEVE request
