Using CICS translation support with PL/I

You can integrate CICS® translation into your PL/I build procedures.

Procedure

To use CICS translation support, follow these steps:

  1. Open the PL/I Settings properties page for the file or set of files whose build procedure you want to customize.
  2. Select the Use CICS checkbox.
    This action enables CICS translation using the integrated CICS translator and activates the list beside the checkbox.
  3. From the list, select the level of CICS Transaction Server that is installed on the remote system.
  4. Optional: If you want to use a separate CICS translator, double-click the cell that corresponds to the Status column in the ELAXFPLT and select Enabled in the list.

What to do next

If you are using a separate CICS translator, you can specify the properties for the translator by selecting a step under the ELAXFPLT procedure and clicking Edit step. A window opens that allows for the specification of the properties for the procedure.
