Issue/Introduction

Following are instructions on setting ACCOUNT-ID to something other than the default transaction SCFD.

Environment

Release: Ideal for Datacom

Resolution

SCFD is the default transaction id an Ideal program can run under. If you wish to set your transaction to something other than SCFD, you need to specify SET ENVIRONMENT ACCOUNT-ID xxx (xxx=transaction-id you defined in the PCT) in either your startup member or in the program. The Account-ID will stay in effect until the program ends or the ACCOUNT-ID is reset to a different TRAN-ID. Each TRANS-ID should look exactly like the one distributed for TRANSID=SCFD except for the TRANSID, IDENT and PRTY. To duplicate SCFD, in CICS, issue the command CEDA COPY TRANSACTION(SCFD) AS(xxxx) GROUP(group name).
