Appendix A. DFHCNV and <strong>CICS</strong> data<br />

conversion<br />

A<br />

If you chose to convert data within <strong>CICS</strong>, then this data conversion will be<br />

performed by the <strong>CICS</strong> data conversion program DFHCCNV, in combination with<br />

conversion templates defined using the DFHCNV macro. When using the <strong>CICS</strong><br />

<strong>Transaction</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> (<strong>CICS</strong> TG), conversion is different for External Call<br />

Interface (ECI) and External Presentation Interface (EPI) requests, so we<br />

examine each of these separately in the following sections.<br />

Note: It is also possible to convert character data from ASCII to EBCDIC, and<br />

numeric data from little-endian to big-endian within the Java client application.<br />

This can be achieved either by using the data marshalling capabilities of the<br />

Java Record Framework, or by writing your own conversion routines. For<br />

further guidance on these options, please refer to Appendix B, “Data<br />

conversion” in the redbook, Java Connectors for <strong>CICS</strong>, SG24-6401.<br />
