CECI - command-level interpreter
Use CECI, which invokes the CICS® command-level interpreter, to enter an EXEC CICS command, check its syntax, and modify it if required. In most cases, you can also process the command.
For programming information on each EXEC CICS command, see System commands.
For details of how to use the CECI transaction, see Command-level interpreter (CECI), which includes an example of a complete session with CECI.

In both cases, you can usually go on to check the syntax of the command, change it if required, and then process the command.
Many CICS system programming commands use CVDA values and CECI shows numeric equivalents for these. See CVDA values for the DEVICE option for programming information, including a translation of these numeric values to their alphabetic values.
