@Documented
 @Retention(value=SOURCE)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface CICSProgram
```
Indicates that methods can be called by CICS Transaction Server.

This type should be used on methods to make them program resources in CICS Transaction Server, enabling them to be called using the EXEC CICS LINK API from native languages such as COBOL and PL/I or using the com.ibm.cics.server.Program.link() method in JCICS.

When an application that has been annotated with this type is installed into a Liberty JVM server in CICS Transaction Server, each annotated method will result in a new program resource being created, unless a program resource with the same name already exists.

Similarly, when the application is uninstalled, any program resources that were created due to this annotation will be deleted.

Indicate the name of the program resource using the value attribute.
