For function shipping and DPL from an ASCII system to CICS® on System/390®, the ASCII system converts the resource names, and CICS on System/390 converts the user data (see Table 2).
For function shipping and DPL
to an
ASCII system from CICS on System/390, the ASCII system does all the necessary conversion.
Conversion of application
data
is done field-by-field. Thus, ensure that the size of each field
in the
application data
is sufficient to hold the result
of the conversion applied to it. (This is particularly relevant where a field
in the
application data
may contain both SBCS and DBCS characters).
