Is there a CICS (COBOL) wrapper for zOS connect having Depending on clause?

Question

Is there a CICS (COBOL) wrapper program example for a z/OS connect?

I am have to use DEPENDING CLAUSE for the same. So far I am new to the z/OS thing. I have to use channels and containers.

An example, if any, please.

Answer 1

Are you sure you need a wrapper program? The tooling for z/OS Connect supports Occurs Depending On as long as the object (the field containing the number of occurrances) is in the same structure as the variably occurring field.

For example, z/OS Connect supports this:

01 My-structure.
   03 Some-data              pic x(13).
   03 Data-count             pic s9(4) comp.
   03 Lots-of-data           pic x(20)
         occurs 1 to 6 times 
         depending on Data-count.

But if "Data-count" is not defined within "My-structure", it is not supported.

See my next answer on a technique to handle occurs depending on if your copybooks are not structured the way that z/OS Connect supports.
