Creating new program objects
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:
- 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:
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- When you are finished customizing the object properties for this program
object, select File > Close Window to exit.
