Hi,

With a MCA running on zOS in a non CICS env, is it possible for a [b]message exit [/b]written in C to start a CICS transaction ?

Thanks for any help.

In general speaking no, and second: why should a message exit want to start a CICS transaction ? why can't you do your processing i the C-program under Z/OS ?

There are some performace issues when dealing with exits to look on:
A message exit should be fast, this means the processing it performs should not use system calls that might suspend the processing (this could be due to a HSM_RECALL, This was the slowest thing I could think of), which means that the channel is blocked for a long period of time....

Think very carefull about what to code, and second do a good test including a stress test of the exit.... I know you will.

Just my $0.02
