Running "Hello World" on your CICS server

To run the program you have just compiled on your CICS® server, you need to make the executable program available to CICS (that is, make sure it is in a suitable directory or load library). Then, depending on your server, you may need to create a CICS program definition for your executable. Finally, you may logon to a CICS terminal and run the program.

To do this,

  1. Logon to a CICS terminal and enter either:
    IHEL

    or

    CECI LINK PROGRAM(ICC$HEL)
  2. If you are not using program autoinstall on your CICS region, define the program ICC$HEL to CICS using the supplied transaction CEDA.
  3. Log on to a CICS terminal.
  4. On CICS terminal run:
    CECI LINK PROGRAM(ICC$HEL)

Expected Output from "Hello World"

This is what you should see on the CICS terminal if program ICC$HEL has been successfuly built and executed.

                                  Hello World
