CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Built-in conversion routines

There are many built-in data conversion routines provided with CICS VT.

Converting from VSAM to DB2 shows all of the routines for converting a VSAM field to a DB2 column. Converting from DB2 to VSAM shows all of the routines for converting from DB2 to VSAM.

You can call any of the built-in conversion routines from within an exit. This can be particularly useful when you are processing DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP columns in DB2.

Do not statically link VIDCONV with your exit. Include VIDHLIPI in the link-edit.
