SH20-1043-4 Customer Information Contro-I System (CICS) System Programmer's Program Product Reference Manual Program Nos. 5736-XX6 (DOS-ENTRY) 5736-XX7 (DOS-STANDARD) 5734-XX7 (OS-STANDARD V2) The IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS) is a transaction-oriented, multiapplication data base/data communication interface between a System/360 or System/370 operating system and user-written application programs. Applicable to most online systems,CICS pro- vides many of the facilities necessary for standard terminal applications: message switching, inquiry. data _collection, order entry, and conversational data entry. CICS is available in three systems - two for DOS users and one for OS users. Because the two CICS/DOS systems are compatible with each other and with the CICS/OS system, it is possible to start with a small data base/data communi- cation configuration and move up through DOS into OS. This manual provides information essential for persons who have the responsibility to define, prepare, and administer CICS in the environmen t it supports.
