Note:

For each command, if none of its listed "command parameters" is mandatory to set originally, ART CICS supports users to code none of them.
RESP, RESP2, and NOHANDLE are supported on all commands.
Recognized parameters are processed by the pre-processor and have no effect on the behavior of CICS Runtime.
Some CICS commands require ARTSRM server. See ARTSRM Configuration for the complete set of those CICS commands.
INQUIRE TERMINAL, SET TERMINAL, ISSUE PASS, and EXTRACT LOGONMSG require ARTLOGN server
