epihceci - EPI (HLI) Issuing CECI Commands

This application uses the Higher Level Interface (HLI) to the EPI to issue a CECI LINK PROGRAM command.

The order of commands is:

  1. Connect a terminal to CICS
  2. Enter a CECI LINK PROGRAM command
  3. Execute the CECI command
  4. Exit CECI command
  5. Disconnect terminal from CICS

The default program is SRVTIME which returns the time and datestamp in the commarea to the client application.

Parameters can be overridden via command line.

It is important that a model terminal definition suitable for a CICS Client is available on the CICS server

For example, use:

Issue "ecihceci -?" for help and default settings.

Sample Input

java jgtest.epi.epihceci -j local: -m ibm-cics-client
