- ID Options
- The record type of a TRANsaction variable determines which ID options can be used with the variable, as follows:
- Use PERFormance TRANsaction variables with all ID options except DSAID and LSRID
- Use any CICS SUMmary TRANsaction variables with the following ID options:
- CICSREL
- JOBNAME
- SYSID
- TRANID
