CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Situations where subtasking is mandatory

If your batch programs use the DB2 TSO attachment, you must use subtasking. Otherwise, the following abend is issued when CICS VT tries to establish a CAF connection:

VID2CAF  db2ssid CONNECT ERROR HAS OCCURRED, PLAN=dimname 
RETURN CODE = 0008  REASON CODE = 00F30049  

This abend is issued because of the conflict between the application program running under the TSO DB2 attach and CICS VT trying to establish a connection to DB2 using CAF.

As an alternative to using subtasking, you might consider converting these programs to use the CAF.
