What is EXEC CICS RETRIEVE ?..

Answer / vinod

RETRIEVE retrieves data stored by expired START commands.
It is the only method available for accessing such data.

A task that is not associated with a terminal can access
only the single data record associated with the original
START command; it does so by issuing a RETRIEVE command.

The following example shows how to retrieve data stored by
a START command for the task, and store it in the user-
supplied data area called DATAFLD.

EXEC CICS RETRIEVE
INTO(DATAFLD)
LENGTH(LENG)
END-EXEC
