Ravi,

My PL/I knowledge is very rusty, so bear with me. Check this link for PL/I programming restrictions in CICS

Also there is an entire chapter on Programming in PL/I WITH CICS

Search for PL/I in this manual and you will find a lot of information regarding programming in PL/I For CICS.

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DFHP3A00/CCONTENTS?DT=20031106151755

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Hi Ravi,

in our shop we use PL1 and CICS and EXEC CICS commands.

Topics are:

- data types for exec cics commands are different, check the CICS documentation
- some pl1 features (FETCH Modules, datetime() builtion function ....) work different from using this features in IMS environment
- be careful with STATIC, AUTOMATIC storage attributes, are sometimes reasons for errors
- be careful with modules with several entrys (PL1 Entry Statement), calling this additional entry, the prologue code is not executed (INIT for AUTOMATIC varibles....)

What kind ix example do you need ?

Regards,
bauer
