How can I create an extrapartition queue which can be used with TDQUEUE commands for CICS.

Most sites prohibit application programmers from making such changes to CICS regions. If you are at one of the rare sites that allow you to make the change, use CEDA DEFINE TD to add the extrapartition TDqueue to a group, then CEDA INSTALL to install the group into the CICS region (if you want the change to persist past CICS shutdown, you'll need to make sure the group you place the definition in belongs to one of the CICS startup lists). You may need to bounce the CICS region to add the DD statement to the startup JCL. Once it is defined and installed, and the DD name is part of the CICS JCL, it should be usable immediately.
