Supersessions cics logon

Need the cics script to be able to enter a tranid after it logs the user on.

    Assuming PCCI is the CICS transaction ID in the example:

    APPLDEF PCCI -
    DEST=CIUSDIV1 -
    DESC='PCCI ??? CIUSDIV1' -
    ORDER=100 -
    POOL=VIRT3270 -
    MULTSESS=YES -
    INITDLG=CICSPCCI -
    GROUP=1

    Where CICSPCCI is a dialog that does something as simple as set a variable with the transaction ID and invoke the CICS logon dialog, i.e.:
    SET TranID 'PCCI'
    DIALOG CICSLOGN '&sysparm'
    CICSLOGN would then do the normal logon to CICS, followed by using &TranID to initiate PCCI.
    The APPLDEF for each transaction would then have a unique logon proc, similar to the above, specific to the transaction to be initiated.

    If the session ID happens to always be identical to the transaction ID, then take a short cut and have CICSLOGN use &vspid (the session ID) as the transaction ID to initiate.

    While the Idea will be closed as delivered, if additional assistance is needed, consider opening a Case with the CL/SuperSession support team for more direct assistance.

    I tried what I thought you are suggesting and it didn't work. So I have no clue what you are wanting us to do. We didn't create the existing cics logon script and we are requesting you to provide another cics logon script that will logon on and enter in the cics trans for the end user want to get into.

    If I am reading this correctly we would need to set this up like the following. I know IBM had to change the logon script for CICS because we don't use the IBM cics logon screen so the scripts to logon onto CICS wasn't working. So IBM created the CICSLGON script for us.

    APPLDEF PCCI -
    DEST=CIUSDIV1 -
    DESC='PCCI – CIUSDIV1' -
    ORDER=100 -
    POOL=VIRT3270 -
    MULTSESS=YES -
    KLSONCIC=CICSLGON -
    KLSCILOG=PCCI -
    GROUP=1

    An initial dialog can be specified on the application definition. For instance, one product dialog (KLSONCIC) and one sample dialog (KLSCILOG) can be named on the session definition to get control once the virtual session is established. This dialog would then proceed with logon validation and then specify a hard-coded transaction name. If multiple initial transactions are possible, multiple initial dialogs could be created, a user might then have one or more sessions on their main menu each designating a different initial transaction by naming a different initial dialog. Information regarding KLSCILOG can be found in the SSPL Programming Reference manual.
