Running applications under IMS

This topic describes Language Environment support for applications running under IMS/ESA® Version 3 Release 1 and later.

You do not need to change any of the code in your application in order to run under IMS/ESA, but there are a number of restrictions and recommendations that you should consider. Two of these concerns include ensuring proper condition handling under IMS™ and running your application in an IMS/ESA environment. These topics, together with an overview of how Language Environment interacts with IMS, are discussed in detail.

For a detailed description of how to write IMS batch and online applications, see the IMS Application Programming Guide appropriate to your version of IMS.
