SH20-1048-2 Customer Information Control System (CICS) Program Product Operations Guide Program Number 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 Sys- tem/370 operating system and user-written application programs. In addition to the functions required for in- quiry and conversational data entry, this open-ended, table-controlled, event-driven system provides many of the facilities necessary for standard terminal applications such as message switching, broadcasting, data collection, and order distribution. 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 sys- tem, it is possible to start with a small data base/data com- munication configuration and move up through DOS into OS. This manual provides information of interest to persons responsible for the definition, preparation, and execution of CICS. Included is the information necessary to gener- ate and operate CICS. This publication contains information necessary for generating and operating the CICS/OS-STANDARD V2 program product. It provides system analysts, system ~rogrammers, and customer operating personnel with information that is primarily operating system dependent; for example, the job control language (JCL) required to unpack the machine-readable material and to perfcrm system generation. This publication should be used in conjunction with the System Programmer's Eeference ~anual when generating CICS and when preparing the system tables that describe the envircnment CICS is to support.
