You can use Oracle's Procedural Gateway for APPC to invoke a CICS transaction program as though it was a (remote) stored procedure. The Gateway runs on your UNIX system and requires a native (not SQL*Net) SNA LU6.2 connection to the CICS host. It also supports calling transaction programs in IMS/TM and other LU6.2-based transaction managers.
Check with your Oracle representative or email me for more information.
