did it happen to google for CAFC0371

ask Your support about it
or look at the manual for the CAFC0371 explanation!
if Your organization is licensed for the program the manuals should be available

if You are a contractor make sure that your agreement with the customer
gives You the right to access the relevant manuals

where did You get the jcl You are using ???
look in the same place for something that works!

You cannot blame us for not having the manuals for the products You are using...
you should have them

also look at the cics manuals for the docs of the transaction You want to run

CICS GUY,

LO stand for LOAD

All,

My requirement is to load a program which is not executed at all in online. My understanding for CEMT S PROGRAM(program name) will newc already existing component in memory. Could you please confirm whether it also loads the new components from PDS to CICS memory?

Doubting that the AFCP program can do what you are trying....
How about just the L for load?
Why are you trying to load a program into CICS?
How about "PGM=AFCP2016,PARM='cicsregion-name,(tranid for prog-name)"?
