You will need to check whether the particular CICS region is connected to
the QM, ask your CICS person - you will probably find that it is not.
There's a CICS transaction he needs to start to startup the interface.  If
he/she thinks that they have then check the CICS log, there could be another
problem.

Hi Darren,

I do know that it is the CICS region that is connected
to the qmgr.  You said:

So, I was just suggesting a way to trace the handle to
see where it was going wacky. As you don't have
anything other than CEDF as a debugging tool, I
thought you could write whatever you want to the TS
queues and review the contents later on -- to help you
debug...

Best regards,

Ruzi
