Using the CICS PROGRAM application

This section describes how to use the CICS PROGRAM application.

This application shows a scrollable list of application programs by name, identifies the application program type, and displays the current status of each program.

Enter any of the following one- or two-character line commands on the line of the program that you want to change:

Line command	Description
P	issues the /STOP PROGRAM command to stop the execution of the program
S	issues the /START PROGRAM command to start the program, which makes it available for scheduling in the IMS regions
L	issues the /LOCK PROGRAM command to stop the scheduling of the program
U	issues the /UNLOCK PROGRAM command to free a program previously locked by the /LOCK command

The following table contains the field descriptions for the PROGRAM application:

Field name

Description

PROGRAM

one- to eight-character name of the program

TYPE

type of application program, which can be

FP U: Fast Path utility
FP N: nonmessage-driven Fast Path application program
FP M: message-driven Fast Path application program
BMP: batch message processing program
TP: message processing program (MPP)

STATUS

current status of the application program, which can be as follows:

STARTED: The program is available.
PROGRAM STOPPED: The program is stopped because /STOP PROGRAM was issued.
PROGRAM LOCKED: the program is locked because /LOCK PROGRAM was issued.
DATABASE STOPPED: A database that is used by the PSB is stopped.
PROGRAM NOT INITIALIZED: No PSB was found for the program during IMS initialization.

Exceptions off (X OFF) is the default. All programs are displayed, including those that are an exception to normal operation. If X ON is entered in the primary command line, only the programs in an exception to normal operation are shown. The exception status can be

PROGRAM STOPPED
PROGRAM LOCKED
