Assembling and link-editing

When you have edited your terminal control table source, assemble it using the CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® macro library, specifying MIGRATE=YES on the DFHTCT TYPE=INITIAL macro, and then link-edit the assembler output.

The assembly and link-edit of a TCT leads to the creation of two separate load modules. Assembly of a suffixed TCT (source name DFHTCTxx) produces a single text file. However, when this is link-edited into a load library, two members are created:

You need to be aware of the existence of these two tables if you have to copy or move assembled TCT tables between load libraries.

If you get a return code greater than 4, remove the cause of the error and reassemble. (For example, internally duplicated entries are not acceptable.)

Assemble and link-edit your tables into your CICS load library, using procedure DFHAUPLE.
