Answer / rookie
Start is used start(initiate) a transaction in CICS environment.
While coding in COBOL, it is used to set the pointer in a ksds
file based on a key value.
Startbr is used to set the pointer in a DB2 table(CICS
environment),although startbr sets the pointer but to browse
the table element you need to follow it with readnext or
readprev command.
