how to display text msg on CICS region.

[jinda12]

Hi,

I have run one simple COBOL + CICS program to display "Hello CICS" on CICS screen. It was translated, compiled and link edited succesfully. The load module has been saved a in SYSFAN.CICS.LOAD.

I am very new to CICS and it is my first CICS program, can you please help me with the process of displaying this message on CICS screen. In other terms I want to know the transaction ID to run my CICS program. My command SET PROG(prog name) NEW results into an error "OVERTYPE TO MODIFY".

Thanks,
Zinda

We cannot do much if we don't know

• your userid
• the name of the program
• the name of the CICS transaction that should run your program

so if you could be so kind to supply those, it would make life a bit easier...

Hi,

My userID is jinda12
My program name is CICSCJIN (load module which is saved in SYSFAN.CICS.LOAD)
Not sure about "the name of the CICS transaction that should run your program"

Thanks,

In that case I suggest you start reading CICS manuals for the next few days. CICS programs are invoked by CICS transactions.

In your case you can do a CECI X P(CICSCJIN), i.e. invoke the program via the CICS command-level interpreter, but that isn't very useful for real programs, and on most systems you wouldn't even have access to it.
