For more information about the DD statements in this job stream that are needed by CICS and IMS, see the appropriate section in Defining data sets.

JCL similar to that in A sample CICS startup job is supplied as a sample startup procedure, DFHSTART, in the CICSTS53.CICS.SDFHINST library. You can use the DFHSTART procedure to start the CICS regions, or as a basis for your own startup procedures. For information about the DFHSTART procedure, see CICS startup procedure, DFHSTART.
