Problem:

When compiling a program containing a CICS statement like

EXEC CICS

     INQUIRE EXITPROGRAM(XXX)

     ENTRYNAME(YYY)

     CONNECTST(ZZZ)

     RESP(WS-RESP)

     RESP2(WS-RESP2)

END-EXEC

Compilation error "EXEC CICS INQUIRE EXITPROGRAM - not supported" is generated

Resolution:

This CICS API is not supported but using the preprocessor Treat as Comment flag (Build Settings, Preproc, More next to CICS, set Unsupported Function to Treat as Comment) , will prevent this error.  

The statement won't do anything at run time but in a Mainframe Express development environment, this is probably not an issue.
