I want to use 1 file which need to define as CICS table in the region which contain same data as actual file, but this need to refresh at CICS startup.. I can create 1 program which has entry in PLT so that program can do made changes at startup.
But the question is that how can i update this CICS table using online program. Also 1 assembler program which can load this table in working storage. |

What would happen if the region crashed? Is it OK to lose any data which had been updated in this User Table?
It sounds like you need a UMT (CICS User Maintained Table)?
UMT's are loaded into memory at startup and don't require any DASD I-O.
They are accessed via normal CICS FILE API's.
Using a UMT is clearly documented in the applicable CICS manual "CICS Shared Data Tables Guide" for your particular version/release.

also, if you follow Bill's suggestion, you don't need any cics modules, you can load the table via api calls in cobol.
and the build job to define the table would then all be batch. Instead of 'loading a table', you would use the file data as input to a dsect build. |

Parag,
Click on this recent link -
ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?p=201105&highlight=#201105
The PaySys/FAS documentation should spell things out for you as both of us wrote the doc as well.
Wally and I wore many hats in those days.
I even picked up potential customers at the airport when nobody could!
It was one of the more finer places to work....
HTH....
