first of all, you need to read CICS book...read :

Q What are the differences between TSQ and a TDQ ?
A (1) In Temporary Storage Queues Data (TS) is
read randomly,
(2) in Transient Data Queues data (td) must be read
sequentially.
(2) In a TSQ data can be read any number of times as it
remains in the queue until the entire Queue is deleted.
TDQ data item can be read once only. To reuse the TDQ it
must be closed and reopened
(3) Data can be changed in TSQ, but not in TDQ.
(4) TSQ can be written to Auxiliary or Main Storage, while
TDQ is written to Disk. Temporary storage is a holding
place, while Transient data is always associated with
destination.
(5) TSQ name is defined dynamically, while a TDQ name need
to be defined in the DCT. Note: An application uses TSQ 's
to pass info' from task to task, while a TDQ to accumulate
records before processing or send data for external use,
such as a print operation or other.

Q What are Extra partition & Intra partition TDQs ?
A Extra-partition TDQ's are datasets used for
communication between CICS and other CICS/Batch regions.
Extra-partition TDQ doesn't have to be a disk file, it can
reside on any device that's a valid QSAM/VSAM. The DCT
entry contains the destination-Id, type of TDQ,
Destination, Trigger level if needed.

Intra-partition TDQ's are queues for communication within
CICS region. CICS stores the Intra-partition TDQ in a
dataset 'DFHNTRA' on the Disk.

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.
