Command format

The general format of a command is:
EXEC CICS FEPI command option(argument)...
where:
command
Is the command name (for example, ADD)
option
Is an option name (for example, POOL)
argument
Is the source or destination for data, as required for the specified option, that is passed to or returned from the command.

The way that you terminate the command is determined by the programming language that you use—COBOL, for example, requires an END-EXEC statement.
