Using transient data queues

You can use transient data queues for many of the same purposes as an auxiliary temporary storage queue.
Like temporary storage, intrapartition transient data consists of data queues in a single data set with an index in main storage. Transient data queues differ from auxiliary temporary storage queues in the following ways:

Accessing tranisent data queues from EGL

An EGL program generated for the CICS environment can access CICS transient data queues as a serial record. The following I/O statements are valid when you access a transient data queue:
  • add
  • close
  • get next

The resource association for the file must have the EGL file type specified as transient when the program is generated. The system resource name (systemName property) is the name of the transient data queue as it is defined in the corresponding TDQUEUE entry.

You can also use the resource association to direct print output to a transient data queue.
