Greetings all,

System : ADCD - z/OS 01.10.00  running CICS Cicstslevel (030200)

I'm trying to format the file pools for REXX/CICS

I  "sign on" to CICS (with "L CICS")

I  enter the REXX transaction, and the expected "Enter a REXX
command or EXIT to quit" message is posted, and interactively entered
Rexx does work.

Attempting to run "FILEPOOL FORMAT POOL1" results in return code -4.

According to the docs I'm using, this return code is returned when the
user is not logged on to the region.  (REXX for CICS—Part One Features
and Installation By Dennis Beck) (pdf's are onlne)

I think the problem is the "L CICS" signon, which is not requesting
any user name / password. That in turn, I think is because only the
default (none?) security has been installed for CICS -VTAM logons.

If that is the problem, then :

1) Is it possible to "Logon" to the CICS region (without security) so
that "FILEPOOL FORMAT POOL1" will be accepted ?

I ran a simple command program, and the default userid is CICSUSER

2) Is there an alternate way to format the file pool, rather than
using the Rexx/CICS interactive FILEPOOL FORMAT .. command ?

else
Does CICS/VTAM security need to be installed ?

else

other ??? solutoin ?

thx

Mike
