Using the SAS/C CICS Command Preprocessor

Introduction

This chapter describes how to use the ccp command to request CICS services by placing CICS commands anywhere within your C or C++ source code. The ccp command translates the CICS commands into appropriate function calls for communication with CICS. By default, the name of the output file will be generated from the input name, with a .c suffix, unless the -o option is used.

Once the preprocessor has translated the CICS commands within your C or C++ program, you then compile and link-edit your program as you would any SAS/C program. When you run your SAS/C program, the function calls inserted by the preprocessor invoke the services requested by calling the appropriate CICS control program using the CICS EXEC Interface program.
