Defining CICS® programs
is much the same as defining programs for other environments. There
are some file technique considerations you should note that are specific
to CICS.
Using transient data queues
You can use transient data queues for many of the same
purposes as an auxiliary temporary storage queue.
Using spool files in z/OS CICS
EGL programs generated for CICS for z/OS can access JES SPOOL files
if the serial or print file is associated with the spool file
type at generation.
Using spool files in VSE CICS
EGL programs generated for VSE batch or CICS for VSE can create and write to a VSE/POWER
queue member by setting the fileType property
to spool in the resource association for
the serial or print file at generation.
Using VSAM files
An EGL program generated for CICS can
access VSAM files if the serial, indexed or relative file is associated
with the vsam file type at generation.
