Writing an EXEC CPSM program

You can use the CICSPlex® SM command-level interface to write an API program. Language-specific copy books are supplied for each CICSPlex SM resource table.

Using the resource table copy books
The CICSPlex SM API accepts and returns resource data in the form of records that contain the resource attributes.
Language and environment considerations
You must consider both the language and environment when writing a CICSPlex SM API program.
Translating your program
Separate translation is the process of converting programs into executable code that the compiler (or assembler) can understand.
Compiling your program
Compiling a CICSPlex SM API program is similar to compiling a CICS® program. You can use your CICS compile JCL as a model and then make the following modifications according to the language you are using.
Link editing your program
The CICS translator inserts a call to the CICSPlex SM EXEC interface stub program.
Run-time considerations
You need to be aware of a number of run-time considerations:
