Updating the CICS ONC RPC data set

Stabilized feature: CICS® support for Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) is stabilized. Consider exposing and orchestrating applications as API services by using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition or CICS web services, or by writing web applications in Java or Node.js. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.

If you select option 2 on panel DFHRP01, or option 2 on panel DFHRP04, panel DFHRP20 is shown.
