Hi,
I have a few CICS programs and subroutines which use LINK and XTCL as below:
In "PROGRAMA":
| Code: |
| EXEC CICS XCTL PROGRAM('PROGRAM1') |
In "PROGRAMB":
| Code: |
| EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM('PROGRAM1') |
When I am changing PROGRAM1, do i have to recompile both PROGRAMA and PROGRAMB and linkedit? I know if its a static CALL i will have to recompile but not sure about LINK and XCTL. Please help |

| EXEC CICS LINK and EXEC CICS XCTL programs must be defined to CICS although they may be autoinstalled if autoinstall is being used. Since each program is independent, you can change PROGRAM1 without having to recompile PROGRAMA or PROGRAMB -- although if the change includes the DFHCOMMAREA definition, you need to recompile both of them. |
