An remote stored procedure (RSP) is a customer-written CICS program that resides on the mainframe. You can write an RSP in any one of the following languages:

• assembler

• COBOL II

• PL/1

• C

An RSP can use any CICS resource or access any CICS data source.

Here are restrictions for creating an RSP:

• The DB2 access service recognizes argument values that are enclosed in either single or double quotes

• Quoted argument values must be in the proper case.

• The entire statement has a 32Kb size limit.

For more information about RSPs, see the Mainframe Connect Server Options Programmers Reference for Remote Stored Procedures.
