Create a CICS CBL statement to indicate a COBOL program is threadsafe

Create a CBL statement that can be included in the COBOL source program that indicates the program is threadsafe. At compile/linked time the compiler/linkeditor should detect this CBL statement and indicate that the load module is threadsafe. If required, changes should be made to CICS that when dynamic creation the PPT entry occurs for the program CICS would detect that the program is marked as treadsafe and define the entry appropriately.

    This RFE is being rejected because users will have to remember to do something either way, ie recompile or link with CEEUOPT.
    So there is no advantage of the having the compiler doing anything.

    Thanks.

    This answer begs a different requirement, which is to have a COBOL equivalent of the C/C++ #pragma runopts() and PL/I PLIXOPT features. Much simpler than creating a CEEUOPT and then trying to figure out how to get it linked in to the appropriate modules.

    Yes, I am aware of that method. The issue I have with that method is that you need to remember to link that module to yours when recompiling the COBOL program. I was looking for a way to not have to remember to do this.

    Are you aware this can be achieved today using CICSVAR=THREADSAFE assembled into a CEEUOPT linedited with the Cobol program ?
