Correct Answer: CEDA

Correct Answer: INTRA PARTITION TD QUEUE : It is a goup of sequential records which are produced by the same and / or different transaction within a CICS region These Qs are stored in only one physical file (VSAM) in a CICS region, which is prepared by the system programmer Once a record is read from a queue, the record will be logically removed from the queue EXTRA PARTITION TD QUEUE: It is a group of sequential record which interface between the transaction s of the CICS region and the systems outside of CICS region Each of there TDQs is a separate physical file, and it may be on the disk, tap, printer or plotter

Correct Answer: In COBOL II start with CEBR, and get the offset/instruction

Correct Answer: An abnormal situation during execution of a CICS command is called an exceptional condition: 1 Handle Condition Command: It is used to transfer control to the procedure label specified if the exceptional condition specified occurs 2 Ignore Condition Command: It causes no action to be taken if the condition specified occurs in the program That is control will be returned to the next instruction following the command which encountered the exceptional condition 3 No Handle Option: This option can be specified in any CICS command and it will cause no action to be taken for any exceptional condition occurring during execution of this command 4 RESP Option: This option can be specified in any CICS command If the RESP option is specified in a command, CICS places a response code at a completion of the command The application program can check this code, then proceed to the next processing

Correct Answer: PCT (Program Control Table) - Defines each transaction containing a list of valid transaction identifiers (transid) where each transaction is paired with its matching program PPT (Program Processing Table) - Contains a list of valid program names and maps and whether a current version is in the CICS region or needs to be brought in as a new copy FCT (File Control Table) - Contains a list of files known to CICS, the dataset name and status (closed/open, enable/disabled) TCT (Terminal Control Table)- A list of the terminals known to CICS

Correct Answer: You must code EXEC CICS ASSIGN with the OPENID option

Correct Answer: EXEC CICS READ DATASET('FILENAME') INTO(data-area) RIDFLD(data-area) KEYLENGTH(1) GENERIC LENGTH(WK-LEN) END-EXEC

Correct Answer: Use the SORTWK01, SORTWK02, dd names in the step Number of sort datasets depends on the volume of data being sorted, but a minimum of 3 is required
