For the latest information on upgrading to and from any versions of CICS TS, see CICS TS V5.6.

Changes to CEMT

The commands available in the CEMT transaction have been modified to reflect changes to resource definitions and new functions.

The CICS® transactions accept as few characters of a keyword as needed to identify the keyword uniquely in the request. Minimum abbreviations might change between CICS releases because of the introduction of new commands. If you use automated processes or programs to issue commands for CICS transactions, and you use abbreviations for the keywords, check for any changes to these abbreviations in the new release. In the syntax displays on your screen, the minimum permitted abbreviation is shown in uppercase characters, and the remainder is shown in lowercase.

In CICS TS Version 5.1, the storage location was changed for the CICS-supplied transaction CEMT. The TRANSACTION resource definition for CEMT was changed to specify TASKDATALOC(ANY) instead of TASKDATALOC(BELOW). The CEMT transaction therefore uses virtual storage above the 16 MB line. If you use CEMT to shut down CICS and have PLTSD programs that are AMODE(24), an AEZC abend will occur. To avoid this situation, modify the shutdown program so that it is AMODE(31) and update the appropriate program definition.
