Hi every one,

The EXEC CICS LOAD command loads a program into main storage. It has nothing to do with loading tables (DB2 ?), and it well documented in the fine manual.

By the way - there are ways to create DB2 tables from within COBOL program, but this is a different story.

The RCT defines the communications between CICS and DB2. You can read all about it in the fine manual.

Hi Fawzy,

It's been a while, but I seem to recall that a data table loaded by the CICS LOAD cmd must be created as an Assembler Language module w/o executable code. Then it is assembled and linked into a CICS loadlib similar to the way maps are handled. From there the LOAD cmd loads it into memory.

It generally is only loaded once and accessed by the xactions using the region. I don't remember how the table is found after the 1st load.

Check the CICS manuals on this site. I'm sure you'll find sommething on it.

Thank you
The program has to be in PPT, So, it can be found, your answer is very helpful, however I hate reading manuals
