CICS Programming Steps

1. Design a screen using BMS and compile the BMS code to generate a physical map, symbolic map, and attribute values. 2. Make entries in the PPT table using CEDA commands to define, install, and associate the map, transaction, program and other resources. 3. Write a COBOL program to process the screen and transaction.

How to write simple CICS MAP And associate it with simple COBOL-CICS

program

1. Design the screen using BMS


2. Compile the BMS screen code using Job and it creates:
a. Physical Map
i. Load Module
ii. Attribute values
b. Symbolic Map
i. Source code module
ii. Variable declaration
3. Make entry in PPT
a. CESN to sign on CESF to sign off. RACF setting and can be off or on
b. CEDA DEF MAP (Define Mapset)
i. Fill MAPSET NAME AND GROUP fields
ii. (Group name is defined in resource definition file and CICS admin needs to set
this group)
iii. F3 to come out of screen and Pause-break to come back to CICS region
c. CEDA INS MAP (Install map/load the map)
i. Fill MAPSET, GROUP
ii. Success message : Installed successfully
d. CECI SEND MAP(‘MAPNAME’) MAPSET(‘MAPSETNAME’) (See the map to test)
e. CECI: Command level interpretor.
f. CECI READQ TD (QID)
g. CEDA DEL MAP ( To remove the entry from PPT table)
i. Delete Successful
h. CEDA ALTER MAP (To use the same name in case you are getting name already exists)
i. CEDA DEF TRANS <ENTER> (PPT entry for transaction)
i. Fill TRANSACTION, PROGRAM, GROUP
ii. Success message: ‘Define successful’
j. CEDA INS TRANS <ENTER> (Install trans/load trans)
i. Fill TRANSACTION, GROUP
ii. Success message: ‘Install successful’
k. CEDA DEF PROG <ENTER> (PPT entry for program)
i. Fill PROGRAM, LANGUAGE, GROUP
ii. Success message: ‘Define successful’
l. CEDA IN PROG <ENTER> (Install Prog/Load prog)
i. Fill PROGRAM,GROUP
ii. Success message: ‘Install successful’
m. CEMT I TA (others)
n. CEDC DIS GR(GRP NAME) (others)
o. CEDA have define, delete, alter access , CEDB has define and alter access, CEDC has
display access

4. Write COBOL-CICS program


5. Compile COBOL-CICS program
6. Make entries in PCT, PPT ( using CEDA DEF…)
7. Load tables in memory (using CEDA INS …)
8. Enter CICS run-time environment
9. Execute transaction by specifying trans-id
a. TRANID <ENTER>
BMS Code
BMS code when compiled leads to symbolic map and physical map generation.

DFHMSD Options (Mapset definition)


<- Col 1 <- Col 10 < - Col 16 <-72
MSEMP1 DFHMSD TYPE=&SYSPARM, LANG=COBOL, MODE=INOUT, *
CTRL=(FREEKB,ALARM), STORAGE=AUTO, TIOAPFX=YES, *
MAPATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT), DSATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT)
UTIME DFHMSD TYPE=FINAL

* in 72 column is continuation character and it can be any alphanumeric character

TIOAPFX : Terminal Input output area prefix


If lang=cobol than TIOAPFX=yes is a must
(It will insert 12 byte field after every field, which will be used by CICS internally)

Storage=Auto for multiple map under one mapset condition, optional for 1-mapset, 1-map
condition

TYPE=$SYSPARM options are MAP, DSECT, $SYSPARM , FINAL based on option you have
selected either Physical Map (MAP) , Symbolic map (DSECT) , both ($SYSPARM), End of BMS
Code (FINAL) is generated

MAPATT=(COLOR,HILIGHT) in physical map attributes get stored based on this value. If you
specify color, it will just have color attribute you assigned, highlight option of blink will be ignored
specified through program.

LANG=COBOL, PL1, ASM

DSATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT) variables for color and highlight in symbolic map gets generated
based on this.

MODE=INOUT,IN,OUT

EXTATT=YES/NO in newer version of CICS. It replaces MAPATTS and DSATTS option.

DFHMDI options (Map definition)

MAPEMP DFHMDI SIZE=(24,80), LINE=1, COLUMN=1, JUSTIFY=RIGHT

SIZE=(24,80) for single map or any map size you want. For multiple maps you need to be extra
careful with this option.
JUSTIFY=RIGHT/LEFT

DFHMDF option (Field definition)

Display field

PTITLE DFHMDF POS=(2,30), LENGTH=9,ATTRB=(NORM,PROT), *


INITIAL=’DODO LOVE YOU’,HILIGHT=BLINK,COLOR=BLUE

POS=(2,30) Position of the field on the map. Its map specific for multiple map condition. Its
relative position and not the actual.
LENGTH=9 Field length
ATTRB=(NORM,PROT,IC) Attribute of field Options are
Set 1: NORM, DRK, BRT
Set 2: PROT, UNPROT, ASKIP
Set 3: This is option and can have value “IC” and sets the cursor to this by default when
screen is thrown out first time. Or “FSET” meaning field value returned irrespective if it
is changed or not (Refer DFHMDT functionality for further details). NUM is data entry
for numeric field and user will not be able to type non-numeric data. (See edit field),
position of sets is not important, it can be in any order.

INITIAL=’ACC’ : length has to be less or equal. Only one quote mark allowed, double quote not
acceptable.
HILIGHT=BLANK/REVRSE
COLOR=BLUE/WHITE/RED etc etc…

Stopper field
AENO DFHMDF POS(5,34), LENGTH=1, ATTRB=(NORM,ASKIP)
Askip field or stopper field is placed at the end of all editable fields to stop the text from edit
fields running into other MAP areas.

Editable field
UENO DFHMDF POS=(5,30), LENGTH=3, ATTRB=(NORM,UNPROT,IC,NUM,FSET), *
PICIN=’X(3)’, PICOUT=’X(3)’,HILIGHT=REVERSE

PICIN and PICOUT are field definition to pass it onto how it gets displayed on map.
Complete BMS example

MSEMP1 DFHMSD TYPE=&SYSPARM, LANG=COBOL, MODE=INOUT, *


CTRL=(FREEKB,ALARM), STORAGE=AUTO, TIOAPFX=YES, *
MAPATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT), DSATTS=(COLOR,HILIGHT)
MAPEMP DFHMDI SIZE=(24,80), LINE=1, COLUMN=1
PTITLE DFHMDF POS=(2,30), LENGTH=39,ATTRB=(NORM,PROT), *
INITIAL=’DODO LOVEs YOU’,HILIGHT=BLINK,COLOR=BLUE
UENO DFHMDF POS=(5,30), LENGTH=3, ATTRB=(NORM,UNPROT,IC,NUM,FSET), *
PICIN=’X(3)’, PICOUT=’X(3)’,HILIGHT=REVERSE
AENO DFHMDF POS(5,34), LENGTH=1, ATTRB=(NORM,ASKIP)
UTIME DFHMSD TYPE=FINAL
END
