If you use a common, release-independent procedure to start CICS regions, you must include the data set for the activation module in the procedure.
The following JCL is an example of how you can add the data set for the activation module:
//CICSTS PROC REL=52
//CICS EXEC PGM=DFHSIP,PARM='SI',REGION=0K,TIME=1439
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICS&REL..SDFHAUTH ...
... plus other CICS datasets
// INCLUDE MEMBER=LIC&REL
LIC52
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICS52.SDFHLIC
LIC51
//* No activation module dataset required
