Displaying the Primary Option Menu
Start the CICS PA dialog either dynamically or statically as described in the User's Guide. For example, for dynamic startup, enter the following TSO command:
EX 'CICSPA.V5R3M0.SCPAEXEC(CPAOREXX)' 'CICSPA.V5R3M0 ENU'
If the high level qualifier for your CICS PA installation data sets is not CICSPA.V5R3M0, then alter the command accordingly.

Initial setup to customize your profile is optional, but is recommended to make it easier for you to work with the CICS PA dialog.
CICS PA uses default settings and prompts you to allocate data sets (with default allocation attributes) as they are required.
