cicsEntries

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.
