What you must do before using the adapter

A task-related user exit program must be both enabled and started before it is available for execution.

Procedure

  1. Use the CEDA INSTALL PROGRAM command to define the task-related user exit program to the system.
  2. Use the EXEC CICS ENABLE PROGRAM command to enable the task-related user exit program and to define its working storage needs.

Example

EXEC CICS ENABLE PROGRAM('EP9')
     TALENGTH(750) GALENGTH(200) SHUTDOWN

EXEC CICS ENABLE PROGRAM('EP9')
     START

The first command loads the task-related user exit program, EP9, and causes a global work area of 200 bytes to be obtained and associated with it. To locate the global work area in 31-bit storage, specify the CVDA LOC31 for the GALOCATION option of the command. The first command also schedules the allocation of a local work area of 750 bytes for each task that later starts EP9, and for the invocation of EP9 at CICS® termination.

The second command starts the exit program: that is, it makes its entry point capable of being started.
