I have just gotten a panicy request from an applications group who are getting -911 SQL abends under CICS.
These are of course timeouts. They want some way to wait n seconds and retry. Simple, sez you - but the kicker is that it is highly desirable the relevant programs in these applications not contain EXEC CICS statements, for reasons which are basically down to wanting to share source code across the batch and CICS environments. They want a CALLable subprogram to do the job. We are at z/OS 1.8 so CEE3DLY CEE3DLYM are not yet available ILBOWAT0 and BPX1SLP are AFAIK not useable under CICS, nor are things like STIMER WAIT I can't see how to do it. So, has anyone got any bright ideas???????
