Chapter 19. Writing a 3270 bridge exit program
Considerations common to all user-replaceable programs
Note that the comments contained in “Chapter 5. General notes about
user-replaceable programs” on page 401 apply to this chapter.
The 3270 bridge provides an interface so that you can run 3270-based CICS
transactions without a 3270 terminal. In the bridge environment, terminal commands
are intercepted by CICS and passed to a bridge exit user-replaceable program.
The bridge exit provides the mechanism by which data needed to run a 3270
transaction can be sent and received from an external resource. For example, you
can use MQSeries® commands in a bridge exit so that CICS can GET and PUT
messages to MQSeries queues.
For a detailed description of the 3270 bridge exit and its interfaces, see the
CICS
External Interfaces Guide
