Take a look at product BatchCICS-Connect. >> www.batchcics.com

Provides ability to code interaction with any CICS transaction from a batch cobol
program.

Build your own logical regression tests of CICS apps, and run from
batch. Great way to build stress cases also.

If not, Earl is so enthusiastic about the product, that he provides free marketing.
hmmmm, wonder why?

There is nothing wrong with vendor reps on this site. They are encouraged. Alissa & Frank provide excellent (beyond excellent - they provide help that is unheard of) support and help for their products.

But they do not hide the fact.

as far as the OP's original question, I am sure ComputerAssociates has something (or will soon acquire).

And, I would look into IBM. Over the years they have really improved their bare-bones utilities. It might be a little primitive: no fancy GUI's, etc. but to think that IBM does not have this kind of software internally is short sighted. I am sure that IBM has something somewhere -- and it may already be bundled with your OS. The people responsible for the Budget in your company should contact IBM. You could also do a search on the IBM website for this type of thing, also look at the REDBOOKs.

no, I don't work for the vendor. I am a CICS integration consultant for a large BPM" company.

I just know BatchCICS is fairly new product and is versatile when desire is to logically interact with other CICS transactions from your own cobol app.

Earl,

we don't mind you promoting the product. I was just wondering when I saw that 90% of your posts had a mention of batchcics. Laughing
