Thanks Anuj!

Thanks all for the help. A lot to read there.

Hi,

Hi,

In a recent interview I'm asked if the COPY statement can be used in Procedure Division Yes/No?

I think we can sue it but what if the member has only a copy-book details? I've heard there are shops which might use COPY to have some "sub-modules" in the main program and there we can make use of ...

Hi,

My question might sounds rank beginner, however, I'm trying to learn it as professional but in vain. The question is about concepts:

Let's say, I've created a Transaction (TRAN1) and in CICS region I've entered the TRAN1 and press the enter key. What are the tasks and the "objects" will come ...
