CICS® Service Flow Runtime processing does not support native code page conversion for an external combined-client. A combined-client design requires that a response be received in the form of a 3270 bridge vector, which contains both display and binary data types. Therefore, it is recommended that a split-client design is employed where business data exchanged between the clients contains only display data types. The conversion of 3270 Bridge vectors to a custom display format, fixed format COMMAREA or XML, is performed in the Generic Bridge. The Link3270 bridge in CICS TS 2.2 does provide support for native code page conversion.
