When you generate a COBOL program for CICS®, the
cicsEntries build
descriptor option specifies whether to produce CICS program and transaction definitions; and
if so, in what format. EGL might produce definitions for these CICS transactions:
- The value of startTransactionID identifies
the transaction ID, which by default is the first four characters
of the program alias or, in the absence of an alias, the first four
characters of the program name.
- For a program that runs in a Text UI or web transaction program,
EGL produces definitions for a restart transaction, as described in restartTransactionID.
Values
- NONE (the default value)
- Does not generate CICS definitions.
- RDO
- Generates resource definition online (RDO) program and transaction
definitions.
- MACRO
- Generates CICS DFHPPT statements
for the program properties table and DFHPCT statements for the program
control table.
