where You can find the CICS TS version/release You are interested in

no sir i actually i know what is startbr in cics but i just want to know where we use startbr and where we use normal read operation nd what is the difference between both?

i didn't find any thing in those links u gave me?

Hello,

Which to use is typically not a choice. One or the other will need to be used. They are not interchangable.

If you want to read one key, you would read it.

If you want to read several beginning with some value, use the start and then read. . .

And yes, the specific information IS available thru those links. If you could not find startbr, sauggest you spend some time (more than 7 minutes) learning how to use the IBM documentation.
