Resolution

If there is to be a VTAM-only XMS task to be used with View,  construct and configure it using the below instructions.

- Construct a XMS task similar to the following:

//VIEWXMS  PROC
//VIEWXMS  EXEC PGM=ExxDRV,TIME=1440,REGION=nnM,                  
//             PARM=('Sys_ID')                                      <=== Assign unique 8-character ID
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD     <=== Modify, if used
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=x                                          
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=x  
//EBCUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=x                                       
//SYSIN    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=CAI.CVDEOPTN(PARMXMS)  <=== Parameter set   
//         PEND

- The CAI.CVDEOPTN(PARMXMS) member should at least contain:

XMS=NO
XMSSUB=NO
SARAPPL=applid
SARVTDB=view_hlq                              <=== Assign if one database used

- Assemble an EBCXMCTR table containing:

EBCXMOPT MSGLVL=NORM
EBCXMTRN TYPE=SAR,INDEX=view_hlq,TRANID=xxx
EBCXMTRN TYPE=EXPRESS,INDEX=dlvr_hlq,TRANID=xxx  <=== Use if a Deliver database used
EBCXMTRN TYPE=GEN
