I have MQseries triggered CICS program. This program when triggered by MQ series is not assigned a Terminal id by CICS. I transfer control from this program to another through XCTL command. how can I assign a terminal id to the transaction of my program ? Does anyone know how to assign a terminal id to the transaction in XCTL command or otherwise in a CICS program.

The question really is why do you need a terminal id? Is it to provide a unique identifier for creating temporary storage names or because you need to communicate with a real terminal?

You could use the MQ-CICS 3270 bridge if you are using legacy 3270 based transactions.

You can't assign a terminal to an existing non terminal UOW but you could use START instead of XCTL to invoke your program in a new transaction with a terminal id.

You could look at the CICS LINK3270 facilities for creating a virtual terminal.

This is really a CICS rather than MQ based questions so you might have better luck asking your question again on a CICS discussion group such as: news://news.software.ibm.com/ibm.software.cics.z-os

The way a task is started decides whether a terminal is needed or not ... and as you have it triggered you don't get a terminal Id because CICS thinks YOU DON'T NEED ONE.
There maybe some design issue there (why do you need a terminal at all) we'll need more details on this to find a right answer
