TranState (MQCHAR)

This indicates the IMS conversation state. This is ignored on first input because no conversation exists. On subsequent inputs it indicates whether a conversation is active or not. On output it is set by IMS. The value must be one of the following:

    MQITS_IN_CONVERSATION
    In conversation.

    MQITS_NOT_IN_CONVERSATION
    Not in conversation.

    MQITS_ARCHITECTED
    Return transaction state data in architected form.

    This value is used only with the IMS /DISPLAY TRAN command. It returns the transaction state data in the IMS architected form instead of character form. For more information, see Writing IMS transaction programs through IBM MQ .

The initial value of this field is MQITS_NOT_IN_CONVERSATION.
