CREATE PARTITIONSET

Define a partition set in the local CICS® region.

Syntax

CREATE PARTITIONSET

CREATE PARTITIONSET attribute values

Conditions: ILLOGIC, INVREQ, LENGERR, NOTAUTH

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 PARTITIONSET command installs a PARTITIONSET definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. Partition set names must be unique among partition set, map set, and program names in a CICS region. If the local region already has one of these resources with the name you specify, the new definition replaces the old one; if not, the new definition is added.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE PARTITIONSET 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 PARTITIONSET being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in PARTITIONSET attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and PARTITIONSET resources for details about specific attributes.

Note: You can assign default values for all attributes of a PARTITIONSET definition by specifying an ATTRLEN value of 0. You still need to specify the ATTRIBUTES option, however, even though its value is not used.

ATTRLEN(data-value)

Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length can be from 0 to 32 767.

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.

PARTITIONSET(data-value)

Specifies the 8-character name of the PARTITIONSET definition to be added to the CICS region.

Conditions

ILLOGIC

RESP2 values:

2: The command cannot be executed because an earlier CONNECTION or TERMINAL pool definition has not yet been completed.

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. See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
7: The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
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.

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.
101: The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create a PARTITIONSET definition with this name.
