DB2 Server for VSE & VM: Operation

Using Syntax Rules for DB2 Server for VSE CICS Transactions

The syntax rules for the CIRB, CIRT, CIRA, CIRR, CIRC, CIRD, DAXP and DAXT transactions are:

• Parameters are positional:

  For CIRB--

  PASSWORD, NOLINKS, DEFUID, RMID, LANGID, SERVER_NAME

  For CIRT--

  PASSWORD, MODE, INTERVAL

  For CIRA--

  PASSWORD, NOLINKS, DEFUID, SERVER_NAME

  For CIRR--

  PASSWORD, MODE, INTERVAL, SERVER_NAME

  For CIRC and CIRD--

  SERVER_NAME

  For DAXP--

  PASSWORD, LANGID, SERVER_NAME

  For DAXT--

  PASSWORD, MODE, INTERVAL, SERVER_NAME

• PASSWORD and DEFUID can be up to 8 characters.
• SERVER_NAME can be up to 18 characters.
• You must separate all parameters with a blank or comma. A comma causes a specific parameter to use the default value.
• At least one blank must follow the transaction ID. (For example, CIRBSQLDBAPW is not valid.)
• DB2 Server for VSE CICS transactions default to the following:
  • If you specify only the transaction ID, all the parameters use default values.
  • If you specify only the first parameter, the rest of the parameters use default values.
  • If you specify only the first and second parameters, the rest of the parameters use default values (and so on).

You can also use the default values for parameters in other positions by placing blanks in the parameter position. Blanks indicate an unspecified parameter. The following are examples of CIRB and CIRD transactions with unspecified parameters.

In this transaction, the password defaults to SQLDBAPW:

 CIRB ,5,SMITH,2,AMENG,SERVER_NAME

  In this transaction, the mode defaults to NORMAL:

 CIRT SQLDBAPW,,30

  In this transaction, the user ID defaults to CICSUSER:

 CIRB SQLDBAPW,5,,2,AMENG,SERVER-NAME

  In this transaction, the interval defaults to 30 seconds:

 CIRT SQLDBAPW,QUICK

  In this transaction, the national language defaults to the language defined as the default when you installed the database manager.

 CIRB SQLDBAPW,5,SMITH,2,,SERVER_NAME

  Note: No data can follow the last parameter. This transaction results in an error:

 CIRB SQLDBAPW,2,SMITH,0,FRANC,SERVER_NAME,1234
