Data conversion

The ECI and EPI allow non-CICS® applications running in a client system to access CICS facilities and data managed by a CICS server system. Character data might need to be converted as it is passed between client and server; for example, data is encoded in ASCII on a CICS Universal Client system and in EBCDIC on a CICS mainframe server system. The server system performs data conversion. For more information, see Data conversion.
