What's in the 8 CICS Commands file?
This PDF file contains the pages for 8 of the 121 CICS commands that are summarized in
unit 8 of the book. It also gives the syntax conventions that are used for the commands,
along with a listing of all the commands presented in unit 8.
Our goal is to show you how valuable just this one unit of the book can be, so the 8
commands cover a variety of functions. LINK and SEND MAP are commands you’ll use all
the time. READNEXT is a command you’ll use regularly when you’re browsing files.
DEFINE COUNTER is one of several COUNTER commands you can use to help you assign control
numbers (like customer or account numbers). ENQ and START are commands that you may use
occasionally, depending on your shop’s standards. And DOCUMENT CREATE and WEB READ
FORMFIELD are two of a dozen commands that have been introduced in recent versions of CICS
to enable you to handle HTML documents.
What's in the Model Progams file?
This file contains the source code for the 5 model programs presented in units 5 and 6
of the book. This file also contains a Word document named Readme.doc that summarizes what
components each of the 5 programs includes. When you unzip the file, it places one folder
for each of the 5 programs on your C drive in the C:\Murach\CICS Desk Ref\Model programs
folder.
In unit 5, two variations of a maintenance program are presented: one with traditional
structured design, the other with a modern modular design that separates the presentation
logic from the business logic. In unit 6, a menu program, a customer inquiry program, and
an order entry program are presented in traditional structured format. If you use these
programs as guides for your design and coding, you will not only improve your
productivity, but you will also improve the quality of your programs.
