I initiallydid notfind this topic particularly interesting as it was basicaly responded too in the first few responses. (SVC/PC).
I recently had a dispute with Management reagrding the uses of sceduling COBOL BATCH under an SRB. Thats Right a Batch COBOL Prpogram runing Under an SRB, moreover under CICS Transaction Server. A Software Vendor believes they can solve a program sharing issue by using SRBS to execute a Batch Cobol Progam. In a nut shell the user enters a basic CICS transaction code and a PC call is issued to a Server Address Spaces whose only responsibility is to SCHEDULE an SRB Back to the specific CICS Region. The SRB then executes a Batch COBOL program. I dont want to bore everyone with all the politics; such as we dont want to pay for Transactional VSAM, and we dont want to maintain 2 Versions of this program (Batch & CICS). Mu collogue and I lost all the battles. I raise this issue to encourage some additional discussion. Again this is a VENDOR who has developing this facility.
