One thing you CAN do in CICS nowadays is ATTACHX a subtask, passing it
the address of an ECB it can post (along with whatever other parms it
will need) when it's done, then EXEC CICS WAIT ECBLIST (but NOT an MVS
WAIT) for it to POST. Alternatively, you could write a TRUE to link the
U7SVC (a little more complex, but saves the overhead of multiple ATTACHX
/ DETACH sequences).
But wouldn't you still need a correct parmlist to LINK EP=U7SVC anyway?
