Installation verification procedure - IBM - AS/400

To verify the successful installation of CICS/400, a sample application is provided.This application also gives users who are new to the CICS application programming interface (API) an opportunity to see what a CICS program looks like. The sample application is designed to provide online inquiry and maintenance facilities for a customer credit file in a department store. The application uses files, displays, terminals, and printers.

To work through the installation verification procedure (IVP),you require sufficient OS/400 security authority. The user profile must have *PGMR equivalent authority or higher.

Note: If your primary national language is not 2924 (US English), and you do not have CICS available in your primary language,the OS/400 objects for CICS national language support, for example commands and help text, will be placed in library QSYS2924. You must place this library in your system library list, to make sure that CICS functions properly.
