RProgram          (PPT)

DESCRIPTION
The "RProgram" corresponds to the "Program" name of a system executable at the 
remote CICS region. "RProgram" exists only if the local and remote names are 
different. By default, Sun MTP assumes the local and remote program names are the
same.  See Section 8.6, Sun MTP Intersystem Communication, of the Administrator's
Guide for further information.


VALUES
A "RProgram" can have a maximum of eight characters. "RProgram" cannot specify
a map set name.


INTERPRETATION
Every transaction to be executed must be known to the Sun MTP system, along with
the application programs that are to be executed on its behalf, even if remote.
A remote "Program" or "RProgram" execution is a Distributed Program Load (DPL)
request. Each transaction and its associated program are defined in the Sun MTP 
Program Control Table (PCT). Each program also requires an entry in the Sun MTP 
Processing Program Table (PPT). The PCT maps a transaction identifier to a 
"Program" in the PPT.


CONCLUSIONS
In order for Sun MTP to execute a remote application program, the same conditions
as for a local application program execution must hold true. First, the 
"RProgram" must be registered in the Sun MTP PPT. The "Map" identifies the type 
of file associated with the "RProgram" in the Sun MTP PPT definition. Finally, 
the file must actually exist in the remote CICS region.
