Starting an application in a CICS environment

After logging on to CICS®, you can start an organization application or project application in the CICS environment.

Procedure

To start an application in a CICS environment:

Enter a CICS transaction code.

The CICS transaction codes are:

  • D8PP, which starts the PL/I project version
  • D8PS, which starts the PL/I organization version
  • D8CS, which starts the COBOL organization version.

When these transaction codes are entered, the panels that are shown in the following two figures are displayed.
