Thanks for your response Brian.
My issue is I don't have an environment to accept a CICS transaction request and run a program that generates a result.
I'm starting to look at Hercules-390:
http://www.hercules-390.org/hercinst.html#config
and tk5
https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5
as emulation environments but i'm trying to see if there is a better way.
Regards
Richard

The COMMAREA would be sent/received when you invoke a CICS transaction. You would need to write a program for CICS to call that is receiving data or sending data back to your application. I am not sure if anyone has a simulated CICS response with the COMMAREA, but it is a basically a map of what is sent and returned.

Hi all
I wanted to try to mock a CIC's transaction that can be called from an IIB CICSRequest node:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/integration-bus/9.0.0?topic=nodes-cicsrequest-node
I found this CICS 3270 docker instance
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-tx/11.1?topic=advanced-deploying-cics-tx-docker-podman
But I was trying to find something that would allow me to work with a COMMAREA .
Does anyone know if there is a test docker container that we could make CICS requests against,
or if there is away to use the running 3270 docker container with the CICSRequest node.
Regards
Richard
