I am looking for a way for a batch job to know if CICS is all the way up, i.e., has issued the "DFHSI1517 CICSTMS Control is being given to CICS." message. I can look at the ASCB to know if a CICS is executing, but I don't see a way to know that it is really operational. -- Tony Thigpen ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication (including any attachments hereto) is confidential and is intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
