DB2TRAN(name)
The one to eight character name to identify this DB2® transaction definition.
Acceptable characters:
A-Z a-z 0-9 $ @ # . / - _ % & ¢ ? ! : | " = ¬ , ; < >
For information about entering mixed case information, see Entering mixed case attributes.
DESCRIPTION(text)
You can provide a description of the resource you are defining in this field. The description text can be up to 58 characters in length. There are no restrictions on the characters that you can use. However, if you use parentheses, ensure that for each left parenthesis there is a matching right one. If you use the CREATE command, for each single apostrophe in the text, code two apostrophes.
ENTRY(db2entry)
Specifies the name of the DB2 entry definition to which this DB2 transaction definition refers. It is the DB2 entry definition with which this additional transaction should be associated.
GROUP(groupname)
Every resource definition must have a GROUP name. The resource definition becomes a member of the group and is installed in the CICS system when the group is installed.
Acceptable characters:
A-Z 0-9 $ @ #
Any lower case characters you enter are converted to upper case.

The GROUP name can be up to eight characters in length. Lowercase characters are treated as uppercase characters. Do not use group names beginning with DFH, because these characters are reserved for use by CICS.

TRANSID(transaction)
Specifies the transaction id to be associated with the entry. If the TRANSID is not specified it defaults to the first four characters of the DB2 transaction definition name. The transaction id can include wildcard characters (see Wildcard characters for transaction IDs).
