Dennis and Bobbie
I missed the point, I was thinking at a level beyond the bridge, which would be the CICS application program itself
at entry to CICS, could not that program read all the data, determine if it will fit in the commarea (if not switch to temp storage), then do a RETURN TRANID(....), and then the program that would run somewhere in the enterprise to process the data know from the commarea that it switched to temp storage
I don't rely on IBM system products to deliver solutions, but I would like them to not restrict my ability to be creative

I suppose it (the bridge) could, but it doesn't.
