 Actually, it could be considered CICS related since at least one version
of Expedite runs in CICS.

IBM also has a product called Data Interchange.  Version 4.1 is available
and will run in all supported releases of CICS.  The follow-on product is
WebSphere Data Interchange.  V3.2 (not yet available) will also run in
CICS.  Both contain mappings and full support for the HIPAA x12 formats.

All XML transforms for DI/WDI are written in Java (and that includes the
HIPAA x12 formats), so therefore require XML4J.  My expectation is that
you'd only want to run this in CICS TS V2.2 (for performance reasons).  I'm
also told that it's possible to run the WDI with its HIPAA transforms on
another platform and communicate to it with MQSeries.
