CICS processing program table (PPT) considerations

All of the routines that you dynamically call or fetch in your application must be defined in the CICS® PPT. Previously, you had the following choices for the LANG option of the PPT entry: ASM, C, COBOL, and PLI.

Now, however, you can specify 'Language Environment' (Language Environment) as the language of any Language Environment-conforming routine. This can save you time when you replace a routine with one written in a different language, because you do not need to redefine the routine in the PPT. C++ programs and all Enterprise PL/I for z/OS CICS programs must specify LANG (Language Environment®) for the PPT entry.
