TSS ADDTO(CICSCORP) PPT(CP12388)

This example removes ownership:

TSS REMOVE(CICSCORP) PPT(CP12388)

This example permits a test CICS user access to a program, APPLPROG:

TSS PERMIT(GKM75) PPT(APPLPROG)

This example revokes access:

TSS REVOKE(GKM75) PPT(APPLPROG)

This example grants USER01 inquire and set access to the APPLPROG program propagation table:

TSS PERMIT(USER01) PPT(APPLPROG) ACCESS(INQUIRE,SET)
