Create an Application Definition

To create an application definition for CICS

1. In the Type field of the ACT, specify UNQ (if you are using EXEC CICS PASS) or GRP (if you are not using EXEC CICS PASS).

   Note: If you are not using the RDO feature of CICS to dynamically define TCT entries, follow only steps 2 through 5 of the procedure Creating an Application Definition in this chapter.

2. If you are using EXEC CICS PASS, specify Y in the Keep virtual terminal field of the ACT.
3. If you are using EXEC CICS PASS, specify Y in the Issues CLSDST PASS field of the ACT.
4. If you are using EXEC CICS PASS and want the startup ACL program to converse with the first CICS application, you must specify Y in the Start ACL prior to CLSDST PASS field of the ACT.
