Hi,
The subject line could not take the full question so I am repeating it here again: Can we write a module which can be used both in batch and CICS? If yes, can you please guide me on this?
Appreciate any help on this.

only if the module does not use any cics facility

Thanks enrico. I was searching for an example of this nature on IBM site but could not find one. Is there some example of this feature available ?

Have you googled or asked your support?

it is not a feature, just applying some reasonable logic.
1) a CICS program cannot use
some BATCH constructs
2) a BATCH program cannot use CICS constructs
at the end You are left with a subroutine/function that satisfies both constraints

If you are writing COBOL, the program cannot use files (no SELECT, no FD, no OPEN / READ / WRITE / CLOSE statements) and expect to work under CICS. The program cannot use EXEC CICS statement and expect to work under batch. As long as you write your code with the restrictions (there are others -- check the manuals for details), the program can run under CICS and batch. Most sites, however, write two separate modules to allow for customization to the environment.
