RTran             (PCT)

DESCRIPTION
"RTran" refers to a transaction identifier that resides on a remote system.


VALUES
The value of "RTran" is a one to four character name representing a transid 
defined in the Programming Control Table (PCT) of the remote system.


INTERPRETATION
When a remote transaction identifier is specified for a local transaction 
identifier ("Transid") in the Sun MTP PCT, it indicates that the transaction is 
to be executed on a remote system and the name of the transaction is specified 
by the "RTran" value.


CONCLUSIONS
There are two cases that can occur when a remote transaction identifier is 
specified in the PCT of the local system:

If a terminal user enters a transaction that is associated with a remote 
transid (by specifying a value for a remote transid in the PCT), it is 
considered transaction routing, i.e., the transaction is routed to the remote 
system for execution.

If an application program issues a EXEC CICS START command and the transid 
specified is associated with a remote transid in the PCT, it is considered as 
an Asynchronous Transaction request (ISC type AP). This means that the remote 
transaction will be issued immediately and the local transaction will continue 
to execute (it will not wait for the remote transaction to complete).
