The CICS, IMS, and z/OS publications describe how to build applications that run in these environments. This chapter describes the additional tasks, and the changes to the standard tasks, you must perform when building WebSphere MQ for z/OS applications for these environments. COBOL, C, C++, Assembler, and PL/I programming languages are supported. (For information on building C++ applications see WebSphere MQ Using C++.)
The tasks you must perform to create an executable WebSphere MQ for z/OS application depend on both the programming language the program is written in, and the environment in which the application will run.
In addition to coding the MQI calls in your program, you must add the appropriate language statements to include the WebSphere MQ for z/OS data definition file for the language you are using. You should make yourself familiar with the contents of these files. See Appendix F, WebSphere MQ data definition files for a full description.
