CREATE PROCESSTYPE

Description

CREATE PROCESSTYPE adds the definition of a BTS process-type to the local CICS region. The definition is built without reference to data stored on the CSD file. If there is already a process-type by the name you specify in the local CICS region, the new definition replaces the old one; if not, the new definition is added.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE PROCESSTYPE 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. For other general rules about CREATE commands, see Creating resource definitions.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)

specifies the attributes of the PROCESSTYPE being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in PROCESSTYPE attributes. For general rules for specifying attributes, see The ATTRIBUTES option.For details of specific attributes, see CEDA DEFINE PROCESSTYPE.

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 32767.

PROCESSTYPE(data-value)

specifies the name (1-8 characters) of the PROCESSTYPE definition to be added to the CICS region. The acceptable characters are A-Z a-z 0-9 $ @ # . / -_ % & ? ! : | " = ¬ , ; < >. Leading and embedded blank characters are not permitted. If the name supplied is less than eight characters, it is padded with trailing blanks up to eight characters.
