Psuedo conversation is a technique to write CICS programs
to improve the performance.
A normal conversational application is one which follows
the normal query and answer approach. User will enter the
query and the sytem/program will process the query and send
the response and wait for another query from user. This
requires the application program to be in memeory all the
while, in turn reducing the main memory utilization
especially when there are several other tasks waiting in
queue for execution.
However in psuedo conversation, the application program is
removed from the main memory by CICS, thus letting other
tasks to get executed, as soon as it sends the response to
the user. The application program is loaded again once the
user enters another query. To the user it appears as a
normal conversational program but in the back ground it is
not, hence the name - Psuedo conversation
