Using Generic Key in CICS

Portion of a primary or alternate key used to
identify records in a KSDS Has to begin at the first byte of the complete key The length can not be equal to the complete key of the KSDS RIDFLD should be large enough to hold the complete key Forward browsing only is possible. READPREV will raise INVREQ condition

Can be used with browse commands
GENERIC & KEYLENGTH options are to be coded RIDFLD should be large enough to hold the records entire
key INVREQ is raised if KEYLENGTH is not less than the length of the complete key When used with STARTBR command the effect is similar to GTEQ GENERIC option can be used in READ & DELETE commands also Length March 18,2000 could be changed BNGusing Version RESETBR 2.0 27

Example with GTEQ MOVE VENDNOI TO IP-VENDOR-NO. MOVE LOW-VALUE TO IP-ITEM-NO.

MASSINSERT
Used when more than one record is to be
written to the same point in a file Makes insertion more efficient Applicable for KSDS, ESDS & PATH UNLOCK command has to be used to end the MASSINSERT operation No file control command can be issued before the MASSINSERT ends.
MASSINSERT example
WRITE DATASET(CUSTINV) FROM(INVOICE-REC) RIDFLD(INV-REC-KEY) MASSINSERT RESP(RESPONSE-CODE)

CICS Data Tables

To improve the performance of files that are accessed
frequently A virtual storage copy of a KSDS file The KSDS is copied to the table at CICS startup Types of Data Tables
CICS maintained tables (CMT)
CICS automatically updates the source data set whenver an update takes place & vice versa User program need not have to wait till the update is completed in the source data set
User maintained tables (UMT)

Needs a user written program that periodically updates the source data March 18,2000 BNG Version 2.0 32 set
CICS Data Tables

Types of data tables (contd) Shared Data Tables
Works like CMT or UMT but it can be accessed by more than one CICS system under the same MVS system Kept in a separate address space accessible by mulltiple CICS systems It is owned by one of the CICS regions
The tables are defined by the system programmer
in FCT through batch or RDO

Performance improvements on VSAM Data set access

Minimize the time that VSAM resources are
reserved for exclusive use Use MASSINSERT if you are inserting multiple records at the same position of the file. Use skip sequential if records are not together but they are relatively close. Use GENERIC option to delete records with keys starting with the same string.

Concepts & Terminology
Logical Message Building Concepts & Terminology

Logical Message A single unit of output thats created from one or more SEND TEXT or SEND MAP commands Terminal Paging / Page Building The process of building a message page Message Delivery The process of delivering a message to a terminal Message Disposition Terminal Disposition Paging Disposition SET Disposition

Terminal Disposition Logical message is directly sent to the terminal as it is created Message flow
Page & text build program a component of BMS module processes SEND TEXT & SEND MAP commands & formats the data in page buffer When the page is full, terminal page processor, another component of BMS module transfers the data to the terminal
Logical message is built & delivered one page at a time

BNG Version 2.0 39
March 18,2000

Paging Disposition Entire message is held in temporary storage until an operator retrieves it. When the page buffer is full, the page is written to a temporary storage Terminal Status Affects how messages with paging disposition are delivered to the terminal 2 options
Paging Status Auto page Status March 18,2000
BNG Version 2.0 40

Paging Status BMS delivers pages one at a time as the operator requests them The terminal operator enters a message retrieval command page retrieval program a component of BMS retrieves the requested page from temporary storage & displays it on the terminal

Autopage status Entire message is delivered as soon as the terminal is ready Usually the output will be on a printer Message Retrieval One page is displayed at a time Message retrieval commands are to be used for subsequent pages First page gets displayed automatically when you invoke CSPG transaction

Message Retrieval Commands P/n Retrieve page n P/+n Retrieve the page that is n pages past the current page P/-n Retrieve the page that is n pages before the current page P/L Last page P/N Next page P/P Previous page T/B Terminate the retrieval session & purge the March 18,2000 BNG Version 2.0 messages being displayed

SEND TEXT
SEND TEXT Syntax

SEND TEXT FROM(data-area) LENGTH(data-value) ACCUM PAGING ERASE HEADER(data-area)
TRAILER(data-area)
SEND TEXT Syntax

FROM LENGTH ACCUM PAGING ERASE HEADER TRAILER
March 18,2000
Name of the field that contains the data to be added to the logical message Length of the FROM field. Build a logical page Pages to be written to temporary storage for later retrieval under operator control Erase terminal buffer as each page is sent during page retrieval Name of the field containing header information Name of the field containing trailer information
BNG Version 2.0 46
Controlling Vertical Spacing

Inset new line character wherever vertical spacing is needed (hex 15) Example 05 LINE-1. 10 FILLER PIC X(10) VALUE Cust No. 10 L1-CNO PIC X(6). 10 L1-NL PIC XX VALUE X1515. DFHBMPNL of DFHBMSCA can be used for initializing L1-NL with new line character.
Automatic Page Numbering

Specify a non blank value in the third byte of the prefix. This charcter is used as part of the header or trailer message to indicate the position for displaying the page number When an overflow condition occurs BMS scans the header & trailer data & replaces this particular character with the page number Maximum 5 bytes for page number
BNG Version 2.0 48
March 18,2000
SEND TEXT Example

SEND TEXT FROM(PRODUCT) ACCUM PAGING ERSAE HEADER (HD-AREA)
TRAILER (TR-AREA)
SEND PAGE
Ensures that the last page of data is written to
temporary storage even if it is not complete Specifies when the user can retrieve the message by issuing retrieval commands It is mandatory after the last SEND TEXT command Syntax: SEND PAGE OPERPURGE
SEND PAGE
SEND PAGE [OPERPURGE] [RETAIN | RELEASE]
OPERPURGE Operator must issue a message termination to delete the logical message Control returns to the application program when the user finishes viewing the message Control never returns to the program

SEND MAP
Map Definition
Format name DFHMDI SIZE=(lines,columns), [LINE=line number | NEXT,] [COLUMN=col.no,] [JUSTIFY=FIRST | LAST,] [HEADER=YES | TRAILER=YES] SIZE=(2,80), LINE=NEXT, COLUMN=1, TRAILER=YES
BNG Version 2.0 53
Example MAP4 DFHMDI
March 18,2000
Map Definition Logical message consideration

Line positioning is done mostly by making use of
LINE=NEXT Map positioning is done mostly by specifying JUSTIFY=FIRST (normally for header map) or JUSTIFY=RIGHT (normally for trailer map) JUSTIFY parameter controls the positioning of header & trailer map HEADER & TRAILER parameters are used to control overflow processing
SEND MAP Command

Format SEND MAP(map name) [MAPSET(map set name)] [FROM(data area)] [MAPONLY | DATAONLY] [ACCUM] [PAGING] [ERASE] Example SEND MAP(MAP4) MAPSET(MAPSET4) FROM(LASTMAP4) ACCUM PAGING ERASE
Overflow Condition
SEND MAP does not send HEADER & TRAILER automatically An OVERFLOW condition is raised when a detail map & the largest
trailer map will not fit into the current page The program should check the OVERFLOW condition & send the trailer & header map While sending the header page,
The page buffer is written into the temporary storage Page buffer is cleared Header map is sent
The detail map should be sent again

Not raised for HEADER & TRAILER map
March 18,2000
BNG Version 2.0

Comparison of SENDTEXT & SEND MAP

SEND TEXT Header & Trailer sent automatically SEND MAP Program to check for overflow condition & send Header & Trailer Has control over overflow processing
No control over

Printer Output
Printer Concepts
The printer has a printer buffer similar to
page buffer. It is the intermediate storgae between the host system & the printers print mechanism When the BMS page buffer is full, the message is sent to the printer buffer The page overflow features can not be used. It has to be done by keeping track of a line March 18,2000 BNG Version 2.0 59 counter
Printer Control Chacters

Form Feed Used to skip to the top of the next page. Its hexa value is 0C . It occupies the first position of the first line in the next page. It is printed as space. New Line Used to direct the printing to continue from the first position of the next line. Carriage Return Same as New line, but paper does not advance to new page. Printing starts from the 1 st column of the same page End of Message Marks the end of a page. It is taken care of by BMS
SENDTEXT & SENDMAP options

PRINT option To activate the print mechanism NLEOM option Tells BMS to use new line & end of message control characters while sending the data to the printer FORMFEED option Tells BMS that a form feed control character to be inserted, in the first position of the Printer buffer
Printing Considerations
Overflow processing is to be done by the program.
Hence no need to specify HEADER & TRAILER options FORMFEED option is to be used to skip pages PAGING option is not to be used if the message is to be directly printed SEND PAGE is to be issued to force the last page of the message to be sent

Temporary Storage & Transient Data
Temporary Storage
Temporary Storage
Temporary storage is divided into Temporary Storage

queues (TS Queues) Each TS queue can contain one or more records Each TS Queue is identified by a queue name (of 1 to 8 characters) Each record is assigned an item number Access could be
Sequential (in item number sequence) Random (by specifying the item no)
Records can be re-written

Transient Data Queue
Transient Data Queue (TD queue)

TD queue is also called destinations
TD queue should be defined in the Destination
Control Table (DCT). DCT contains the queue name (or destination id) & the queues characteristics Record gets deleted when it is read from the queue Two types of transient data queues
Extra partition data queue Intra partirion data queue
Extra partition transient data queue

Can be accessed by batch programs also
apart from CICS Mainly used for capturing data online & process later by batch programs It is a sequential file (QSAM) It need not have to be in disk only; It can be on tape also.
Intra partition transient data queue

Most commonly used than extra partition data
queue It is stored in a VSAM file named DFHNTRA. (all queues) Provides a facility for Auomatic Transaction Initiation (ATI).
A triger level is defined in DCT & the corresponding transaction When the number of records reach the triger level, the transaction is initiated automatically

A terminal owned by one CICS system run a transaction in
some other system PCT Entry in TOR DFHPCT TYPE=REMOTE, TRANSID=INQ1, SYSIDENT=CTSC PCT Entry in AOR DFHPCT TYPE=ENTRY TRANSID=INQ1 PROGRAM=CUSTINQ
Transaction Routing
CEDF expects the transaction to be owned
by the same system To avoid this

Distributed Program Link

A program running in one CICS system can
issue a LINK command that invokes a program in another CICS system Easy way to implement client-server applications Can be used to avoid long sequence of function shipping requests
Distributed Program Link

Format of LINK command LINK PROGRAM(name) [COMMAREA(data-vaue) [LENGTH(data-value)]] [SYSID(system name)] [SYNCONRETURN]
Asynchronous Processing
Distributed START command.
START command includes a SYSID option or the
PPT of the transaction table specifies a remote system. All the START command options can be used. The task that issued the START command & the started task are treated as separate LUW. If one fails, the other is not affected.
Distributed Transaction Processing

2 or more programs running on different
systems communicate with each other. This is called conversation The program that initiates the transaction is called front end The other program is called back end This is CICS implementation of APPC
