hi,

PPT stands for Processing Program Table.

The Primary function of PPT is to register all CICS application programs and BMS mapsets. The PPT keeps track of which applications are loaded on the CICS address Space (storage). CICS uses this information to determine whether new copy of the program need to be loaded from Disk or it exists on storage. It contains information such as Location in memory, Library address of the disk and language being used.

Entries in PPT for a program and related BMS Maps is must before executing a CICS application Program.

Hope it helps you, if you still have and doubts do write to forum.

Thanks and Regards,
MKP

This is done in CICS region itself. "How" is the job of CICS system admin. I don't think any shop allows PPT set-up to applicaiton programmers.

Hi,

i agree with kulkarni, the location of the program is taken cre of by the admin. We can however create PCT and FCT entries using CEDA and defining the attributes for the program
