Storage Protection

The Code Debug CICS storage protection facility protects CICS regions from programs that violate CICS storage areas. Storage violations cause programs to abend, produce unexpected program results, or cause CICS region crashes.

This section describes how to initiate Code Debug’s storage protection facility and tailor it to meet your needs.

The Code Debug CICS storage protection feature, which has no dependencies on the IBM CICS storage protection feature, supplements this protection by preventing user applications from overwriting each other, or from overwriting any other areas that do not belong to the application’s task. The Code Debug CICS storage protection facility is designed to enhance and extend the facilities provided by CICS.

Code Debug’s storage protection facility can also check data areas modified by CICS command level commands. If the CICS command would cause a storage violation, Code Debug can protect this storage and prevent the storage violation from occurring.
