JZOSprog.java- JCICS CICS Java program to link to EDUPGM COBOL program using a generated record
The generated record JAR file EDUPGM.jar is supplied in the lib directory of the Eclipse OSGi plugin project
- CICS TS V5.4 or later
- Java SE 1.8 or later on the workstation
- Eclipse with the IBM CICS SDK for Java, or any IDE that supports usage of the Maven Central artifact com.ibm.cics:com.ibm.cics.server.

The sample project can be imported into Eclipse and deployed into a CICS OSGi JVM server as follows:
- Import the Eclipse projects from the project folder into CICS Explorer using File -> Import -> General -> Existing projects into workspace.
- Change the name of the JVMSERVER in the .osgibundle file from DFHJVMS to the name of the JVMSERVER resource defined in CICS.
- Export the bundle project to zFS by selecting Export Bundle project to z/OS Unix File System from the context menu.
- Create a CICS bundle defintion, setting the bundle directory attribute to the zFS location you just exported to, and install it.
