Tutorial: Creating a Simple Transaction

Introduction

Read this chapter if you are familiar with the CICS environment but not with C as the application program language, or if you are familiar with both CICS and C and would like a quick introduction to using C under CICS.

After reading this chapter, you should be able to preprocess the example program using the SAS/C CICS Command Language Translator, compile and link the example, and then initiate the example transaction under CICS.

Note: This program, and more extensive examples of how to code SAS/C programs for use under CICS (see Examples) can be found in the programs contained in the SASC.SAMPLE library under OS/390 and LCSAMPLE MACLIB under CMS. See your site representative for details on how to access these programs at your installation. [cautionend]

Although an overview of the CICS processing involved in the example is provided, this chapter assumes you understand the basics of CICS applications.
