Point taken, I assumed by the comments about how "easy" CICS programming the OP was doing "traditional" CICS programming on the main TCB. The highly specialized part of IFCID 196 processing goes way beyond just waits, with the requirement for Key 7 ECSA and running in KEY 0, so is still not something suitable for the CICS environment, regardless of the TCB it runs on.

That 'wait' restriction was lifted *years* ago with the advent of the OPENAPI and L8 TCBs . Without that major architectural improvement we could not have z/OS UNIX, Java, XML, JSON, and numerous other facilities routinely invoked in the modern era by CICS threadsafe transactions. -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
