To create a channel, use the
createChannel() method of
the
Task class. For example:
Task t=Task.getTask();
Channel custData = t.createChannel("Customer_Data");
The string
supplied to the
createChannel method is the name by which
the
Channel object is known to CICS. (The name is padded
with spaces to 16 characters, to conform to CICS naming conventions.)
To create a new container in the channel, use the
Channel's
createContainer() method.
For example:
Container custRec = custData.createContainer("Customer_Record");
The
string supplied to the
createContainer() method is the name
by which the
Container object is known to CICS. (The name
is padded with spaces to 16 characters, if necessary, to conform to CICS naming
conventions.) If a container of the same name already exists in this channel,
a
ContainerErrorException is thrown.
