Specify that you want to receive all write-to-programmer messages (including the message ID), at your terminal. This helps you to analyze any problems that might occur while setting up the CICS VR ISPF dialog interface. To do this, enter this TSO command:

PROFILE WTPMSG MSGID

Before you can start CICS VR, you must allocate the CICS VR data sets. You can allocate these data sets through the TSO logon procedure, or by executing a command list (CLIST) after TSO logon. See Sample CLIST (DWWCLIST).
