Create a Service Interface

We are creating a Web Services type service interface that uses CICS screens.

1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the CICSScreenWS project; then click Add > New Item.
2. Under Categories:, expand Native and click Mainframe Subsystem.
3. Under Templates:, click Service Interface.
4. In the Name field, type CICSScreenWS; then click OK.
5. Select Web Service as your type of interface and CICS Screen as your type of source; then click OK.

At this point, Visual Studio adds the CICSScreenWS service interface to the Solution Explorer and invokes the Service Interfaces Editor. We are ready to define the details of the service interface.
