IITST (1-byte character string)

Transaction state.

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:

ITSIC

In conversation.

ITSNIC

Not in conversation.

ITSARC

Return transaction state data in architected form.

This value is used only with the IMS

/DISPLAY TRAN command. It causes the transaction state data to be returned in the IMS architected form instead of character form. See the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Guide for further details.

The initial value of this field is ITSNIC.
