Compatibility between CICS V2 and V3.00 (or later)
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 465
Using addresses with or without a network
CICS V2
In CICS V2, addresses cannot be specified with a network.
CICS V3.00 (or later)
In CICS V3.00, addresses can be specified with or without a network name attached. For
example, an address can be JOE, or can be network-specific such as RICKY@CODAN.
Specifying the network enables the transceiver to make the call using that particular
network.
When using the global ALL address syntax (@?@) you can specify the address followed
by the network. For example, a global ALL address syntax would be sent as
@?@@CODAN.
Compatibility between CICS V2 and V3.00 (or later)
If an address has not been specified with a network, CICS must select a network.
When scanning is on, CICS selects the first network that:
• matches the type of call system you have selected, that is, if you are making an ALE
call, the network selected will be an ALE/CALM network
• has the address you have specified
When scanning is off, CICS selects the network based on the following criteria:
• the network must have the current channel in it
• the address must be assigned to that network
• the network must match the call system you selected, that is, if you are making an
ALE call, the network selected will be an ALE/CALM network
NOTE
If you have specified an alphanumeric address, for example, FRED, CICS
will automatically select an ALE/CALM network to make the call.
