be able to get channel DFHTRANSACTION in JCICS

in JCICS there is a Task.getTask().getChannel("DFHTRANSACTION");


in the doc it say


The named Channel object if it exists, or null if it does not. The named channel will only be returned if it is the current channel, or if it was previously created using JCICS in this task at this link level.


as DFHTRANSACTION is a system created channel


https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cics-ts/5.5?topic=channel-transaction-dfhtransaction


it should be able to bypass the check of it is created by JCICS.
