Course Code:	IM 11
Course Abstract:	The course teaches the concepts, capabilities, and coding for IMS Transaction Monitor programs. Participants will design terminal screens and code Message Format Services (MFS) macros to implement those screen designs. The participants will modify a skeleton COBOL program to receive an input message (from an on-line terminal), process that message, and send a message (to an on-line terminal), change screen attributes, send a message to another program, and use PFF keys. The Batch Terminal Simulator (BTS) is used for Program testing.
Audience:	This course is designed for participants who must understand and code programs that run in the IMS Transaction Monitor environment.
Duration:	5 days
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: > Explain the relationship among terminals, messages, programs > Code MFS macros that describe on-line screens and messages > Modify a skeleton COBOL program to access IMS terminals > Code Data Language I (DL/I) calls for the following - > Get a message (GU) from a terminal > Insert a message (ISRT) to a terminal > Insert a message (ISRT) to another program > Change (CHNG) the destination for a message > Code program IO-AREAs to match a terminal messages > Code status code checking to determine each call's success > Modify Batch Terminal Simulator (BTS) control statements > Code the use of PF Keys > Change screen attributes from the program
