Using the START function

The START function starts the CICS® socket interface or a listener within the interface. When the interface is started, all listeners marked for immediate start are also started. The START function also enables CICS tracing for the CICS socket interface and the listener.

If you type STA on the current screen or type EZAO STA on a blank screen, the following screen is displayed:
