All (IIRC) CICS provided transactions begin with the letter 'C'.Srikanth.A.P wrote:My question is not the technical significance of CESN. CESN is for Signon.
My question is why the signon command is named as CESN.
My guess is 'C' for a CICS provided transaction, 'E' for extra/expanded/(whatever), and 'SN for 'Sign oN'.....is CESN an abbreviation for something or has some significance for its keyword.
Many tran-id's "mean something" - many do not. Several are a kind of acronym (like CESN). Some are just the "next" value - with only 4 positions, there is not a lot of room for creativity.My question is why the signon command is named as CESN
