Product Description

Book Description

Here's a comprehensive and useful book on CICS for COBOL programmers at all levels. Kirk focuses on techniques, structures, and style. If your're new to CICS, use this book as a CICS tutorial and then, as you gain mastery of CICS, as a handy desk reference. CICS pros can use it for review and reference, and for guidance in migrating to COBOL II.

From the Publisher

Concentrating on techniques, structures and style, this comprehensive, accessible guide covers the most commonly needed features of CICS. Scores of examples in VS/COBOL and COBOL II facilitate understanding and increase proficiency. Supports all current versions of CICS in MVS and VSE settings plus AD/Cycle COBOL 370. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and readable introduction to CICS, Oct 16 1998
By A Customer
This book is ideal for COBOL programmers facing the chance of working on their first CICS project. Many obscure points of CICS are explained in a readable fashion, making the book an excellent training aid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not well written - too verbose., Jan 26 1998
By A Customer
The book is kind of chatty & includes lots of Kirk's philosophy of programming. Might be ok for a beginner who's never used any other communications software. Being familiar with other online programming software (IMS, ADS/O), I found the information on CICS to be so smothered in useless verbage that it was difficult to read.
