Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 463
Using channel names or channel numbers
CICS V2
CICS V2 requires channel names to be numeric.
CICS V3.00 (or later)
CICS V3.00 responds to channel names that are numeric, alphabetic, or a mixture of
both.
Compatibility between CICS V2 and V3.00 (or later)
For backwards compatibility you must name all channels numerically.
Using scan tables or networks
CICS V2
In CICS V2, up to three scan tables can be used to define the lists of channels to be
scanned. The scan tables are identified by a single numeric character.
CICS V3.00 (or later)
In CICS V3.00, networks define the lists of channels to be scanned. Each network is
identified by a name.
Compatibility between CICS V2 and V3.00 (or later)
For backwards compatibility the networks must be named with single numeric characters
like the scan tables.
The scan command is compatible between CICS V2 and V3. It is used to start and stop
scanning and to specify the network(s) or scan table to be scanned.
NOTE
In CICS V3.00, a channel name such as ‘0001’ is not identical to ‘1’ as it
is in CICS V2.
