Program control

This tab shows the Program Control Table of AMT-COBOL.

Click the Add or Edit button to add a new or edit an existing entry in the table. The following dialog with two tabs will show.

Application: The application the Program belongs to
Program name: The Program name, this should be named exactly as shown in the 'System Configuration -> Batch & Forms -> Available jobs ' list in the Control Center.
Program Type:
- Default: This is the normal program type, the transaction server will treat these programs as is customary for the application kind to which the program belongs.
- Reentrant: Programs of the type 'Reentrant' will keep on running once started, retaining its working storage data. Making it possible to re-enter the program and continuing with the same data. Only when the transaction server is shutdown will running reentrant programs be closed. Programs set to 'Reentrant' may only have a concurrency of one (1).
- SelfDestructive and SelfInitializing: these are types intended for future use.
Concurrency: The number of times the Program may be executed at the same time.
Disabled: When checked/true this program will be disabled causing it to not be accessible for users.

In this tab you can define transaction codes for each program.

Transaction code: A free to choose Transaction code up to 50 characters (no spaces). These codes are to be used in the COBOL code instead of the original four character Transaction ID's.
Priority: The priority of the program that is started through this Transaction code.
Disabled: When checked/true this transaction will be disabled causing it to not be usable for users.

It is also possible to define Transaction codes in Transaction control.
