CICS (for OS/390 and VSE) considerations

These considerations are for CICS:

• In CICS, if you need to handle routing automatically (rather than writing a program to route output), use GDDM or define transient data queues for use with QMF.

  GDDM does the routing for you by using the transient data queue definitions that you define to CICS. QMF takes care of the routing in the same way if you are using transient data queues to hold your output.

  If you print to temporary storage, you must write a program to send the temporary storage queue to the printer or display the printed output online with the CICS-supplied transaction CEBR.

• In CICS, if you need to print more than 32, 767 rows of output, use GDDM or define transient data queues to use with QMF.

  Temporary storage queues cannot handle more than 32, 767 rows of data.
