CICS connected to DL/I

CICS® can provide DL/I database support by using IMS.

There are two ways in which you can use DL/I support with CICS:

• Through CICS remote DL/I support, also known as function shipping
• Through DBCTL

For CICS/ESA, remote DL/I support and DBCTL support are included in the pregenerated CICS.
