Problem with NEWC

Hi,

I am new to CICS and working on an online project.

I edited a COBOL-CICS-DB2 module and tried creating a new copy using the NEWC command. The response code was not normal and the erssor message was 'PPT entry not found'.

But i tried an alternate way and loaded the program using CECEI LOAD PROGRAM(XXYYYY) command. It worked and the latest module is picked up when i did an enquire using CECI I PROGRAM(xxyyyy).

My questions are

- what shd i do for the PPT entry to be made?

- Is there any difference between the NEWC and LOAD commands? Is it enough that i use LOAD or shd i try fixing the NEWC issue?

Search the CICS forum for AUTOINSTALL PPT ENTRIES or something similar, but the key word is AUTOINSTALL.

Simple...
If you do a 'CEMT I progname' first, and there is a not-found responce, 'don't worry, be happy', auto-install will take care of the newer version when it 'auto-installs' the program....

As far as I know, NEWC is a CICS transaction accompanied with the Expediter/CICS product.
