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
