If both CICS'es on in the same z/OS image, then you can use either VTAM's LU 6.2 protocol, or "cross memory" services. "Cross Memory" services does not require VTAM. It is basically a memory-to-memory "move" between the two CICS address spaces. LU 6.2 must be used if the CICS'es are on different z/OS images. I don't think that CICS can use TCPIP for "function shipping" like it does LU 6.2. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
