A program named "caszirdr" is currently mentioned under "Integration with CICS Support" in the documentation for both Net Express version 6.0 and Studio Enterprise Edition version 6.0, under the topic "CICS Resources for the Internal Reader". However, it is not found anywhere in the install. Where can the caszirdr program be found?

The caszirdr program is not an internal program name. Although it is mentioned in conjunction with a PCT (program control table) entry for the internal reader, it is intended to be a sample name, and the name of the program used containing the JCL going to the internal reader can be something else. Whatever name is choosen for the program should have a PCT for it if it is associated with a Tran.

Also, a "caszirdr"-type program has not supplied in the form of an executable because any program would probably have to be modified per JCL job; an executable is therefore not thought to be appropriate as an executable would mean hard-coding the JCL information.

Attached to this article is a simple sample that shows the mechanism that should be used to submit jobs to the spool, instead of trying to use a Transient Data queue. That method was deprecated some time ago.
