Problem:

We need to start a CICS region, but it has no transaction code - it is a MQ transaction. And we want it to run in a Multi-Tasking CICS Region. How can this be done?

Resolution:

One still needs to start the MFCICS Multi-Tasking region as normal. So a 3270 terminal has to be active. Here are the steps to use when running or animating such regions:

    Running multi-tasking application

    Tools>CICS>Start Region

    Tools>CICS>Start 3270 Terminal

    Enter trancode for application

   Animating multi-tasking application

    Tools>CICS>Start Region

    Tools>CICS>Start 3270 Terminal

    Debug>Start Debugging, CICS tab,

     Generic Debug option, OK  

    In 3270 Terminal enter trancode

    Step thru program(s)

    Exit debugging session via 3270 terminal
