CISC (4-byte character string)
Transaction start code.
This is an indicator specifying whether the bridge emulates a terminal transaction or a START transaction. The value must be one of the following:
- SCSTRT
- Start.
- SCDATA
- Start data.
- SCTERM
- Terminate input.
- SCNONE
- None.
In the response from the bridge, this field is set to the start code appropriate to the next transaction ID contained in the CINTI field. The following start codes are possible in the response:
- SCSTRT
- SCDATA
- SCTERM
For CICS Transaction Server V1.2, this field is a request field only; its value in the response is undefined.
For CICS Transaction Server V1.3 and subsequent releases, this is both a request and a response field.
This field is used only for 3270 transactions. The length of this field is given by LNSTCO. The initial value of this field is SCNONE.
