CREATE PROGRAM
Define a PROGRAM in the local CICS® region.
Conditions: ILLOGIC, INVREQ, LENGERR, NOTAUTH
Description
The CREATE PROGRAM command installs a PROGRAM definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD.
When you use the CREATE PROGRAM command to create a PROGRAM resource, the program name must not be the same as the name of any other public program, map set, or partition set defined as a resource in the CICS region. If the local region already has a public resource of one of these resource types with the name you specify, the new definition replaces the old one. A PROGRAM resource that was defined and installed in a CICS bundle cannot be replaced using this command.
When you define a PROGRAM resource in a CICS bundle that is packaged and installed as part of an application deployed on a platform, CICS creates a private PROGRAM resource for the application, so the resource name does not have to be unique in the CICS region. For more information about public resources and private resources, see Private resources for application versions.
A sync point is implicit in CREATE PROGRAM processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE executes successfully, and rolled back if not. See Creating resource definitions for other general rules governing CREATE commands.
Options
- ATTRIBUTES(data-value)
- Specifies the attributes of the PROGRAM being added. The list
of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the
syntax shown in PROGRAM attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for
specifying attributes, and PROGRAM attributes for
details about specific attributes. Note: You can assign default values for all attributes of a PROGRAM definition by specifying an ATTRLEN value of 0. You must still specify the ATTRIBUTES option, however, even though its value is not used.
- ATTRLEN(data-value)
- Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length can be from 0 to 32767.
- LOGMESSAGE(cvda)
- Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that
is created. CVDA values are as follows:
- LOG
- The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
- NOLOG
- The resource attributes are not logged.
- PROGRAM(data-value)
- Specifies the 8-character name of the PROGRAM definition to be added to the CICS region.
Conditions
- ILLOGIC
- RESP2 values:
- 2
- The command cannot be executed because an earlier CONNECTION or TERMINAL pool definition has not yet been completed.
- INVREQ
- RESP2 values:
- n
- There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for EXEC CICS CREATE and EXEC CICS CSD commands for information about RESP2 values.
- 7
- The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
- 200
- The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.
- LENGERR
- RESP2 values:
- 1
- The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.
- NOTAUTH
- RESP2 values:
- 100
- The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
- 101
- The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create a PROGRAM definition with this name.
