Creating new program objects

About this task

CICS® BAC lets you define a set of customized properties for any number of program objects. These properties govern how program objects will be processed by CICS BAC during CICS region initialization. When you are ready to start defining properties for a specific program:

Procedure

  1. Select the appropriate Program folder in the tree pane, then select File > New > Program object on the CICS BAC menu bar or click the New icon on the toolbar and select Program. This displays a dialog box that you can use to specify the new program object name:
  2. Choose one of the following options:
    • Enter a unique name for the object (such as "PROG1") and click OK. You cannot use NEWPROG as the name.
    • Click Browse Host for Existing Programs and use the resulting dialog box to view and select from a list of programs currently in the CICS region's control file or defined to CICS. You may then select a program from the list to continue defining a program object.

    This opens the Program Properties window for your new program object.

  3. Define the appropriate settings on the Program options tab. For details, see Program object details. The Program state information tab provides information about the last time the program was processed by CICS BAC.
  4. To save your changes, select File > Save or click the Save icon. To cancel any changes since the window was opened or since the last save, click the Cancel icon.
  5. When you are finished customizing the object properties for this program object, select File > Close Window to exit.
