Hi COOK1,
How it is possible that a same program is entered twice in a ppt entry.
in my knowledge if a program is already in the mainmemory then it is in ppt table and it will be used by cics ,if it is not in the main memory it is brought to MM from disk and PPT entry is Made . so where is the possibility of same program twice in the PPT entry,

Please correct me if iam wrong

RaviTejaG,
stop confusing PPT and PCT.

According to my understanding PPT should not have more than one program entries. PCT can have.

I am waiting for CICS expert advise.

this is not CICS expert advice:

if one were to look at the definitions of the PPT (processing) and the PCT (program)
the PPT has a group key - which has nothing to do with program name - you can have more than one module in a group. the question was can a module be a member of more than one group.
the PCT is a program name key.
