8.3.1 VIEW32 Definitions

TMA SNA uses View32 definitions generated from copybook of containers for data conversion. Usually, every kind of container must correspond to a View32 definition of the same name but differs in the following aspects.

  • TMA SNA container name is usually in uppercase while its corresponding View32 name is always in lowercase.
  • Dash in TMA SNA container name needs to be converted to underscore.

For example, TMA SNA container name "CONT-1" corresponds to View32 name "cont_1".

Note:

In mainframe CICS, the action scope of container name is the current task; however, since it is represented by a VIEW32 in Oracle Tuxedo, the action scope expands to VIEW32. Consequently, Oracle Tuxedo cannot support different containers with the same name.
