I'm sure I'll be punished for this response, but here goes. Writing to an ExtraPartitioned TDQ used to put CICS main-TCB into a Wait (QSAM) (not so long ago). A solution for this (and other problems like SUBMITs) was to write a hand-shake program to run in CICS that talked to an ATTACHED (or LOADed) program. In that design the attached program could be a table and sort logic or anything else. The hand-shake had to anticipate all CICS issues, like Starting and initializing, single threading (hold an enqueue), Stopping, etc. The attached program had to manage its own Getmains, initialization, Freemains, etc. CICS now does essentially the same thing in an archected way for TDQs, and can use the JesSpool interface for Submits, etc. As others are wondering, Why non-reentrant? How can you update a program, or is it a table? What does it do in batch? -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
