Mass insert in DB2 using CICS.

Hi,

As we have multi-row insert available in batch jobs, do we have something similar available in CICS? I also want to understand that if it's available then is it advisable to use it as CICS is mainly for real-time use then allowing a mass insert will be of what use?

Thanks for your help in this regard.

I'm not sure about DB2, however, if you look at this link http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cicst ... write.html and search for MASSINSERT - it gives you details about 'multi-row-insert about VSAM".

Thay'a a very interesting discussion, and we should use many info to support our arguments, but in short terms: any non-conversational work or any work that do not have an user (or terminal) waiting for a response should run outside CICS.

That is is correct but can we really do mass insert in DB2 through a COBOL CICS program?
