Answer / sangram jadhav
Transaction invokes your program or group of programs that
is to be executed.
The execution of transaction or group of transactions is
nothing but a task. This is totally a logical term related
to your LUW (logical unit of work). Structural way of
designing your program in individual tasks helps in
achieving multitasking easily.

Answer / sud
A transaction is a unit of processing that consists of one
or more application programs. A transaction is initiated by
a single request, often from a terminal, usually using a
four-character transaction identifier. A transaction might
require the initiation of one or more tasks for its
execution.
A task is a single instance of the execution of a
transaction. CICS, in conjunction with the operating
system, manages the control of multiple tasks by allocating
a system process to each task. While one task is waiting
(for example, to read a file or to get a response from a
terminal), the operating system can give control to another
task.
