ENTRY_POINT(name4)
returns the program’s entry point address, as it would be returned by a Loader
domain ACQUIRE_PROGRAM call.
EXECUTION_KEY(CICS|NOT_APPLIC|USER)
returns the key in which CICS gives control to the program, which determines
whether the program can modify CICS-key storage.
CICS CICS gives control to the program in CICS key. The program is loaded
into a CICS dynamic storage area (DSA), above or below the 16MB
line; that is, the CDSA or ECDSA, depending on its residency mode
(RMODE) attribute as defined to the linkage-editor.
NOT_APPLIC
Not applicable. This is a mapset, partitionset, or a remote program.
USER CICS gives control to the program in user key. The program is loaded
into a user DSA, above or below the 16MB line; that is, the UDSA or
EUDSA, depending on its residency mode (RMODE) attribute as
defined to the linkage-editor.
EXECUTION_SET(DPLSUBSET|FULLAPI|NOT_APPLIC)
returns a value indicating whether CICS links to and runs the program as if it
were running in a remote CICS region.
DPLSUBSET
CICS links to and runs the program with the API restrictions of a remote
DPL program. The program can use only a subset of the CICS API.
FULLAPI
CICS links to and runs the program without the API restrictions of a
remote DPL program. The program can use the full CICS API.
NOT_APPLIC
Not applicable. This is a mapset, partitionset, or a remote program.
(The EXECUTIONSET option of DEFINE PROGRAM applies only to
local program definitions. Its purpose is to test programs in a local CICS
environment as if they were running as DPL programs.)
HOLD_STATUS(CICS_LIFE|NOT_APPLIC|TASK_LIFE)
returns a value indicating how long the program is to remain loaded.
CICS_LIFE
The program remains loaded until CICS is shut down.
NOT_APPLIC
Not applicable. The program is not loaded, or is remote.
TASK_LIFE
The program remains loaded for the lifetime of the task.
INSTALL_TYPE(AUTO|CATALOG|GROUPLIST|MANUAL|RDO|SYSAUTO)
returns the method that was used to install the PROGRAM resource definition.
AUTO Autoinstall.
CATALOG
The CICS global catalog, after a restart.
GROUPLIST
