CICS doesn't handle file the way COBOL does.
CICS doesn't have any FILE SECTION like COBOL.
File handling part is done separately.
A programmer has to declare file to be used in FCT table and
OPEN or CLOSE file exclusively by giving OPEN <FILE NAME>
command at CICS login before running the CICS application

CICS files should not be defined in CICS programs using SELECT and FD clauses. Also, OPEN and CLOSE statements need not be given inside the program.
Files can be opened and closed using the CICS command
CEMT I FILE and then issuing an 'o'pen or a 'c'lose.
Files can be defined in CICS by CEDA command.
