This topic lists the high-level programming languages
and compilers that are in service on z/OS® and
have CICS® translator support
and Language Environment® runtime
support with CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 5 Release 2.
All COBOL, PL/I, C, and C++ compilers listed in this topic
can use the integrated CICS translator
for CICS online programs. In
addition the COBOL, C and C++ compilers can use the integrated translator
for batch programs using the External CICS Interface
(EXCI) command level API.
