1.11.1 SYSIN/SYSOUT Handling

Tuxedo ART for IMS supports SYSIN/SYSOUT redirection for ACCEPT/DISPLAY statement in Tuxedo ART for IMS batch COBOL program in Micro Focus COBOL environment. To support this, Tuxedo ART for IMS adds a new file handler named "ARTEXTFH" (located at $IMSDIR/coblib_mf/BMP).

There is another file handler with the same name ARTEXTFH for ARTIMPP servers, and its behavior is the same as Micro Focus COBOL default file handler.

This file handler is at $IMSDIR/coblib_mf/MPP. All these two file handler will be loaded by ARTIBMP or ARTIMPP servers. If the default file handler behavior is not suitable for special case, user could switch these two file handler files or replace with user specified file handler.

Note:

Currently, this feature is not supported with COBOL-IT.

Perform the following steps to use this feature:

1. While compiling user COBOL program with Micro Focus COBOL compiler, the following options should be added:

   INDD

   OUTDD

   CALLFH("ARTEXTFH")

2. Before running a batch program, environment variables DD_SYSIN and DD_SYSOUT should be set and used to specify SYSIN/SYSOUT files. If artbatch is used to trigger an IMS job, this usually would be set.
