COBOL as the primary language for CICS application
programming ( command level ) . general command format
given below:
EXEC CICS function
[option(argument value)]
[option(argument value)]
:
the "function" is a CICS service request. the "option" is
one of d options available to the command.
ARGUMENT VALUES :
the argument values determine the characteristics of a
value to be placed to an option as deatiled
information.since these argument values r used for
describing the command format
1- DATA VALUE : the data value is an actual value ot the
name of a field which contains that value. it is used for
specifying such values as the record length and key length.
8
KEYLENG <---- 77 KEYLENG PIC S9(4) COMP VALUE 8.
2-DATA AREA : It is used for specifying such names as the
input/output area and key field.
RECORD-AREA <----- 01 RECORD-AREA.
05 FLD1 PIC X(5).
05 FLD2 PIC X(20).
3-POINTER-REF :the pointer-ref is d anme of a base locator
for linkage (BLL) cell , which is defined as the full word
binary field ( PIC S9(8) COMP). it is used to establish
addressability.
LINKAGE SECTION.
01 PARMLIST.
05 FILLER PIC S9(8) COMP.
05 A-POINTER PIC S9(8) COMP. <---POINTER-REF
05 B-POINTER PIC S9(8) COMP. <---POINTER-REF
01 A-DATA-AREA.
05 FLS1
05 FLS2
01 B-DATA-AREA.
05 FG1
05 FG2
4-NAME : it is used for such purposes as dataset name and
mapname.
'FILEEG'
FILE-NAME <----- 05 FILE-NAME PIC X(5) VALUE 'FILEEG'.
5-LABEL: It is used for passing control to d paragraph ot
the section of the procedure division.
6-HHMMSS : the HHMMSS indicates a decimal constant or tha
data name of S9(7) COMP-3 field ( containing the value
0hhmmss+). it is used for the time exprssion.

how a data in physical and symbolic map gets treated? Since the physical map is much concerned about the screen alignment and the field positions, how the values entered in the field which has PICIN or PICOUT clause in Physical map gets treated? Does that mean datas recieved or sent to the physical map should be constant? How does the data in Symbolic map gets converted with 5suffix namely F,L,A,I and O. For example EMPNO is treated as EMPNOI, EMPNOO, EMPNOA, EMPNOL and EMPNOF. how does this happen in symbolic map. Please provide your inputs on the above and kindly correct me if I am wrong.
