Using CICS Services

This section describes how to use CICS® services. The services are considered in turn.

File control
The file control classes IccFile , IccFileId , IccKey , IccRBA , and IccRRN allow you to read, write, update and delete records in files.
Program control
This section describes how to access and use a program other than the one that is currently executing.
Starting transactions asynchronously
The IccStartRequestQ class enables a program to start another CICS transaction instance asynchronously (and optionally pass data to the started transaction).
Transient Data
The transient data classes, IccDataQueue and IccDataQueueId , allow you to store data in transient data queues for subsequent processing.
Temporary storage
The temporary storage classes, IccTempStore and IccTempStoreId , allow you to store data in temporary storage queues.
Terminal control
The terminal control classes, IccTerminal , IccTermId , and IccTerminalData , allow you to send data to, receive data from, and find out information about the terminal belonging to the CICS task.
Time and date services
The IccClock class controls access to the CICS time and date services.
