Abstract/Overview
This hands-on course is designed to provide a firm foundation in the procedures needed to write on-line applications using CICS. This course will teach students how to code and debug CICS application programs written in COBOL. Case studies and hands-on exercise ensure an effective learning experience.
Audience - Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for application programmers requiring CICS skills. The course targets both intermediate and experienced application programmers.
Prerequisite
Students are assumed to have experience with the COBOL programming language. Students should also know how to use TSO/ISPF
Objective
- To gain a general level of understanding of the CICS concepts, structure, and facilities.
- To develop a working knowledge of Basic Mapping Support and generate usage panels.
- To develop a strong understanding of pseudo-conversational programming techniques and CICS program structure.
- To write programs which take full advantage of CICS features.
- To gain experience in program problem resolution using interactive tools.
