Purpose
The CICS_EPI_EVENT_CONVERSE event indicates
that a transaction is expecting a reply as a result of either an EXEC CICS RECEIVE
command, or an EXEC CICS CONVERSE
command.
The application
should issue a
CICS_EpiReply call
to return the data to CICS
®, as follows:
- If the transaction has issued an EXEC CICS RECEIVE
command without specifying the BUFFER
option, the buffer might contain data sent from the transaction, or it might
be empty. If there is data to process, deal with it before replying. Send
the reply when the data to be sent is available.
- If the transaction has issued an EXEC CICS RECEIVE
BUFFER command, the data buffer
contains the 3270 Read Buffer command and the Size field is set to
1. The reply should be sent immediately.
