Program definitions for user-written programs

You need to make definitions for: CICS® programs, converters, user-written XDR routines, and a resource checker.

LANGUAGE option
User-written XDR routines should be defined with LANGUAGE(C). Converters and CICS programs should be defined with an appropriate LANGUAGE.
CEDF option
Program definitions for CICS programs must include CEDF(YES) if EDF is required for debugging.
EXECKEY option
CICS programs should be defined as EXECKEY(USER), unless there is some reason for defining them as CICS-key in your CICS system. Defining programs as EXECKEY(USER) prevents them from overwriting CICS.
RELOAD option
You should specify RELOAD(YES) for any user-written XDR routines to prevent errors in CICS ONC RPC disable processing.
Definitions for remote CICS programs
If a CICS program that is to service a remote procedure call runs in a different CICS system from CICS ONC RPC, a program definition is required on both the local system and the remote system.
