Hi,

I'm new to CICS.

Can anyone tell me step by step.

1. How to login to CICS.
2. how to write a program.
3. how to compile/run it.
4. how to view the output

I would be very greatful if some screen shots can be given with commands.

too much is being asked for a forum reply

1 ) depends on Your organization standards and system setup
2 ) You will know how after a proper CICS training
3a ) for the compilation steps depends on Your organization standards and system setup
3b ) after having logged on to CICS enter the transaction code
4a ) for the compilation steps depends on Your organization standards and system setup
4b ) will be shown on the screen after having entered the appropriate transaction code

You are really in need of very very basic CICS training

Hello and welcome to the forum,

1, 3, and 4 - are all site-specific and you need to ask someone who is familiar with the system you are using.

2 - no one can tell you "how to write a program" in a forum. This is learned over time and the knowledge accumulates. Even in a training program, learning how to write a program is gotten piece at a time.

Suggest you ask someone familiar with your system for a simple file-in/report-out program that you can use to study/clone for learning/testing. They should also show you where/how to store your source and the local standard process for compiling.

Thanks Enrico and Dick!

You're welcome - good luck
