CICS

CIC-START TRANSID(name)
... [INTERVAL(hhmmss)|TIME(hhmmss)] [CICSoptions]
... [ERROR(errorpara)]

SERVICE-RELOAD is an OS/VS COBOL statement; do not use with COBOL II, because the compiler treats this call as a CONTINUE statement.

`CICSoptions`	Valid CICS option. See your CICS reference manual for more information.
ERROR (`errorpara`)	User-defined error routine to perform when an abnormal condition occurs.
INTERVAL (`hhmmss`)	Time interval between issuing and executing the call. `Hhmmss` can be replaced by zero, a decimal constant, or a COBOL data name defined as PIC S9(07) COMP-3.
TIME (`hhmmss`)	Expiration time for the START function. `Hhmmss` can be replaced by a decimal constant or a COBOL data name defined as PIC S9(07) COMP-3.
TRANSID (`name`)	Transaction code identifying the program where control returns; can be a literal (maximum 4 characters) or COBOL data name (minimum 5 characters).

Start a specific task (not associated with a terminal) in one hour.

CIC-START TRANSID('TRNL') INTERVAL(10000)
... ERROR(ERROR-PARA)

Initiate task TRN2 associated with terminal STA3; begin the task at 5:30 P.M.

CIC-START TRANSID('TRN2') TIME(173000)
... TERMID('STA3') ERROR(ERROR-PARA)
