Creating a resource object

When you create a resource object you create a representation of the actual CICS® resource (such as a file or program). You do not create the CICS resource; the object is the application's view of the resource. The same is true of destroying objects.

U se an accompanying resource identification object when creating a resource object. For example:

IccFileId id("XYZ123");
IccFile file(id);

This allows the C++ compiler to protect you against doing something wrong such as:

IccDataQueueId id("WXYZ");
IccFile file(id); //gives error at compile time

The alternative of using the text name of the resource when creating the object is also permitted:

IccFile file("XYZ123");
