NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations.

Note to COBOL programmers: In the preceding syntax, you must use ATTRIBUTES(data-area) instead of ATTRIBUTES(data-value).

Description

The CREATE PIPELINE command installs a PIPELINE definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a PIPELINE with the name you specify in the local CICS region, and the existing PIPELINE is disabled, the new definition replaces the old one; if an existing PIPELINE is not disabled, the CREATE command fails.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE PIPELINE processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE executes successfully, and rolled back if not. See Using EXEC CICS CREATE commands to define resources for other general rules governing CREATE commands.

The CREATE commands are not audited because their actions are recorded by other messages.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)
Specifies the attributes of the PIPELINE being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in PIPELINE attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and PIPELINE resources for details about specific attributes.
ATTRLEN(data-value)
Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length must not exceed 32 767 bytes.
LOGMESSAGE(cvda)
Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:
LOG
The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
NOLOG
The resource attributes are not logged.
PIPELINE(data-value)
Specifies the 8-character name of the PIPELINE definition to be added to the CICS region.

Conditions

INVREQ
RESP2 values:
n
There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. The RESP2 value is associated with a message written to the transient data queue CSMT which identifies more precisely the nature of the error. See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
200
The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.
612
Installation of this PIPELINE failed because it already exists
LENGERR
RESP2 values:
1
The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.
NOTAUTH
RESP2 values:
100
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
