Start a browse of all processes of a specified type within
the CICS business transaction services system. Although this command appears in the Application Programming set
of topics, to use it you must specify the system programming (SP) parameter
in the EXEC statement of the translate step of your compile job. See Technote
1265081 for further information.
STARTBROWSE PROCESS initializes a browse token which can be used to identify each process of a specified type within the CICS business transaction services system.
When you add a process to the BTS system, you use the PROCESSTYPE option of the DEFINE PROCESS command to categorize it. You specify the name of a PROCESSTYPE resource definition, which in turn names a CICS® file definition that maps to a physical VSAM data set (the repository) on which details of the process and its constituent activities will be stored. (Records for multiple process-types can be stored on the same repository data set.)
The STARTBROWSE PROCESS command enables you to start a browse of processes of a specified type.
