Using the SAS/C Cross-Platform Compiler and C++ Development System

CICS Command Preprocessor

The SAS/C CICS Command Preprocessor enables you to develop application programs to run under CICS. This application-programming interface enables you to request CICS services by placing CICS commands anywhere within your C or C++ source code. The SAS/C CICS preprocessor translates these commands into appropriate function calls for communication with CICS.

Once the preprocessor has translated the CICS commands within your C or C++ program, you then compile and link-edit your program as you would any SAS/C program. When you run your SAS/C program, the function calls inserted by the preprocessor invoke the services requested by calling the appropriate CICS control program using the CICS EXEC Interface program.
