Narrative:

As captain on air carrier flight X I was acting as PNF. As I was just raising the landing gear, tower reported traffic at 1 O'clock position, a cessna. The traffic just became visible to me from behind the center windscreen post and I directed an immediate right turn and continued climb. In a split second we passed no more than 100 ft vertically and 200 ft behind the target aircraft as the TCASII was telling us to monitor vertical speed. Since both of us in air carrier X were busy keeping the traffic in sight, neither of us observed the TCASII resolution. All of this occurred at an altitude of 500 ft AGL. I stated on frequency that this was in fact a near miss. Had we not executed the turn to pass behind and above, we would have hit the cessna. This incident was called via phone to ATC at tul, who took information for their report on jun/mon/98. My certification number and address were also passed to them. A clear day and sun position helped us find the target in time to take evasive action which was a 30 degree bank right turn. No passenger comment or notice was observed by any of the 3 flight attendants who did notice the turn from their seats but no visual contact was afforded as the small plane passed under and to the left. I had all our lights on but did not observe any from the cessna.
