Answer / shailesh
PPT - Processing Program Table Contains:
Program name/Mapset name, Language, Size, Main storage
address (if it is loaded), Task Use Counter, Load library
address (address of the load module in the disk), Whether
main storage resident.
Program/Mapset name is unique.
When a transaction id is received by CICS, it gets the
corresponding program name from PCT. Then it checks if the
associated program is already loaded. If so it merely
increases the task use counter for the program by 1 in PPT.
If the program is not loaded, then it gets the load library
address from PPT and loads the program and make the task
use counter 1. Similarly, as tasks complete, the task use
counter of that program is decremented. When the task use
counter becomes zero then CICS may free the main memory
where the load module is loaded, if it has not been
designated as being main‑storage resident.

Define an asra?
how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated? Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map gets treated? Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map should be constant? How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with 5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O. For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA, EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map. Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct me if I am wrong.
