Calling QMF interactive from COBOL programs in CICS regions
CICS, QMF, Mainframe, COBOL
We have a call to QMF from all the screen in the application. We also has QMF report generation from onlines where users enter the details in onlines which is passed to QMF proc and report is shown to them on QMF screen. Once user is done with QMF queries/reports and presses PF3 he/she returns back to the same screen from where he/she reached to QMF.We tried calling with DSQCIB program which is given in QMF for CICS manuals but somehow its not working for us. Our applications is bounded in Plan LLx00A and QMF is bounded in plan QMF810. We have created a transaction QMFE in CICS for QMF which works if we call QMFE directly from CICS.
Now there are some possiblities we are trying to explore but since its a new setup we are not sure how it will work
1. Calling transcation QMFE from all programs
A. If it works then how the control will go back to the same place(map) from where this transaction was issued?
B. How to pass parameters and call QMF procs from onlines using this transaction?
2. Call DSQCIB from COBOL program.
A. What kind of set-up is required and how it will work with different plans?
We have been trying alot but we are not able to sort it out. Request you to kindly look into this issue and help us out.
