CICSSVC

The CICSSVC parameter specifies the number that you have assigned to the CICS type 3 SVC.

CICSSVC={216|number}
The default number is 216. A CICS type 3 SVC with the specified or default number must be installed in the LPA. For information about installing the CICS SVC, see Installing the CICS Type 3 SVC.
CICS checks if the SVC number supplied corresponds to the correct level of the CICS Type 3 SVC module, DFHCSVC. If the SVC number does not correspond to the correct level of DFHCSVC, the following can happen, depending on the value specified for the PARMERR system initialization parameter:
  • CICS is terminated with a system dump
  • The operator is allowed to retry using a different SVC number

For details of the PARMERR system initialization parameter, see PARMERR.
