CREATE SESSIONS

Description

The CREATE SESSIONS command installs a SESSIONS definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. You can use it only after issuing the initial CREATE CONNECTION command that defines the attributes of a connection and before the final CREATE CONNECTION COMPLETE (or DISCARD) command that ends the process.

The sessions you define always belong to the current connection, and the name that you specify in the CONNECTION option within your ATTRIBUTES string must match the name of the connection specified in the preceding CREATE CONNECTION command. See CREATE CONNECTION for rules about the order of the commands that build a connection, and Creating resource definitions for general rules governing CREATE commands.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)

specifies the attributes of the group of SESSIONS being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in SESSIONS attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and SESSIONS definition attributes for details about specific attributes.

ATTRLEN(data-value)

specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length may not exceed 32767 bytes.

LOGMESSAGE(cvda)

Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:

LOG

The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.

NOLOG

The resource attributes are not logged.

SESSIONS(data-value)

specifies the 8-character name of the SESSIONS definition to be added to CONNECTION definition under construction. The name of a sessions group needs to be unique only within the current CONNECTION definition, and the group is always added unless you repeat a session name within a connection. In this case, the last successful SESSIONS definition of the same name is the one that is used.

Conditions

ILLOGIC

RESP2 values:

2

The command cannot be executed because no CREATE CONNECTION ATTRIBUTES command has been issued, or the CONNECTION name specified in the ATTRIBUTES argument of this command does not match the name of the connection assigned in the CREATE CONNECTION command.

INVREQ

RESP2 values:

n

There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for EXEC CICS CREATE and EXEC CICS CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.

7

The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.

200

The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.

LENGERR

RESP2 values:

1

The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.

NOTAUTH

RESP2 values:

100

The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.

102

The user of the transaction issuing the CREATE SESSIONS command is not an authorized surrogate of the user specified in USERID.
