The conversion process

This section describes in more detail how data conversion works in CICS.

Components
The CICS® or user-supplied mirror transactions convert the data, using DFHCNV, DFHCCNV, and the user-replaceable conversion program, DFHUCNV.
Process
This section describes the standard conversions that can be applied by DFHCCNV to specific fields in a conversion template. Other types of conversion are possible, if you write a DFHUCNV program.
Standard and nonstandard conversion
There are three ways a single resource, for example a file, can be converted.
Sequence of conversion processing
This is the sequence of conversion processing.
