Setting defaults for all program objects

Before you start defining programs objects, you may want to set the defaults for all program objects. These defaults are used to create the $Default definition that is automatically placed in the Programs folder each time you define a new CICS® region, which is subsequently used to set the initial values for new program objects created in the CICS region's program subfolder. To set up the baseline set of defaults for all program objects:

  1. Click the Default Properties folder in the tree pane.
  2. Double-click Program in the view pane. This opens the Default Program Properties window.

    End of change
  3. Set the default options as desired. For more details on these settings, see Program object details.
    Note:
    Start of change
    The second tab is not available since there is no available information on this tab that would make sense in a default context.
    End of change
  4. Click the Save icon or select File > Save to save your changes.
  5. Select File > Close Window to exit this window.
