TRANSACTION statement

Description: This statement specifies which transactions can be started by the Listener. One statement is required for each transaction that can be initiated by a TCP/IP-connected client.

Note that the transactions named here are subject to limitations:

They must be defined to IMS™ as MODE=SNGL in the IMS TRANSACT macro; this will ensure that the database buffers are emptied (flushed) to direct access storage when the second and subsequent GU calls are issued.
They must not be IMS conversational transactions.
They cannot name transactions that are executed in a remote Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) environment.
They must not use Message Format Services for messages to the client.

TYPE=: This parameter specifies whether the transaction uses the IMS Assist module. It must specify either EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT.
