CAS9240I - CICSPAWN - Command complete

Environment

Release : 15.0
Component : COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS

Cause

The CAIENF/CICS SPAWN control option has been stabilized starting from CTS 5.6 as no products are using the service.

Resolution

If none of the owned products use the service there is no need to employ CAIENF/CICS SPAWN services for CTS 5.6 and as such the CICSPAWN(73) parm can be omitted from the CAIENF control option member.
