Tutorial: Creating a Simple Transaction

Overview of Processing

CICS enables online, real-time processing of requests for work, called transactions. These transactions can work with a database, or they can be requests for information, such as system information supplied by CICS. The sample program in this chapter focuses on how to use the SAS/C Translator. The CICS portion of the example defines a transaction that requests information from CICS. The system used to process the example is OS/390; however, the steps are similar whether you use TSO, OS/390 batch, CMS, or the SAS/C Cross-Compiler product (see Preprocessing, Compiling, and Linking).
