(Sorry for the late reply to this. I was out-of-town and didn't have a
chance to post to IBM-MAIN).
I received the following information from one of my "usually reliable
sources" within IBM for this question:
****
"he can use (W)RD/z to generate compiled conversions rather than CICS native
which do not support ODO.
Compiled supports ODO and complex ODO as well.
We do require one level 01 per message (in both compiled and native CICS).
You can give them this link for a couple of nice viewlets describing the
process:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/v1r1m0/topic/com.ibm.iea.w
dz/wdz/7.0z/WebServicesDev.html?dmuid=20061231125132400795
and this viewlet in particular
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/v1r1m0/topic/com.ibm.iea.w
dz/wdz/7.0z/WebServicesDev/EST_BottomUpGen/EST_BottomUpGen_viewlet_swf.html?
dmuid=20061231134107068620
There is also a lot of additional documentation on
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wdzinfo/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.etools.e
st.doc/topics/cestintrotext.html
Hope this helps... "
