I'd like to know this too. Given that searching "DFHECP1$" "USS" gets a total of 10 hits, I'm wondering if it's not even possible.
I searched the z/OS 3.2 version of the UNIX System Services User's Guide, SA23-2279-70 (70!!) and found no mention of "CICS", "DFH", "translator", or "preprocessor". Were you inferring from other discussion in there, or did I miss it somehow? Oh, or did you mean SC14-7307-00 (or maybe later), XL C/C++ User’s Guide? I see the CICS/NOCICS options in there. Obviously (?) not arguing with you, just not seeing where the environment variable is documented. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mario Bezzi Sent: Thursday, March 5, 2026 8:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Compiling C under USS Trying to compile a C program that requires the integrated CICS translator: >xlc -qcics -c main.c ERROR CCN4431 Compiling a CICS command resulted in the following message: Unable to locate CICS translator. CCN0793(I) Compilation failed for file ./main.c. Object file not created. According to the USS User's Guide this can be solved setting the STEPLIB environment variable. >export STEPLIB=CICS.SDFHLOAD >xlc -qcics -c main.c ERROR CCN4431 Compiling a CICS command resulted in the following message: Unable to locate CICS translator. CCN0793(I) Compilation failed for file ./main.c. Object file not created. Any clue?
