Resident

Check this if you want to enable this program to reside in the application server's program cache after it has been loaded.

Commarea

Specify the amount of storage to be allocated to the communications area (COMMAREA) to enable MSS to behave like mainframe CICS. The size is in the range 0 through 32767. The effect of this is that when a program is passed a COMMAREA smaller than the COMMAREA defined in the program, the passed COMMAREA is automatically extended in length to fill the defined space.

Language

Choose the language the program is written in.

Save, Working Storage

Check this to have load requests ignored if the program is already in storage.

Uncheck this to have a fresh copy of the program loaded every time a load request for the program is issued.

If the program resides in a remote region, specify the 4-character, remote system identifier (as defined in the TCT).

If the program resides in the local region, leave this field blank.

Rmt Trans ID

Specify the transaction ID of the transaction program on the remote system. A System ID must be specified before a transaction ID can be specified.

The remote transaction ID can be up to four alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be a letter. Do not use the letter C as the first character; transaction IDs beginning with C are reserved for use by MSS.

Remote Prog

If the program resides in a remote region, specify the name by which the program is known there. Remote SysID must be specified before a remote program ID can be specified.

If you specify a remote system ID but leave this field blank, the local identifier for this program will be sent to the remote region.
