Frequently Asked Questions

Is LegacyJ Transaction Platform CICS?

LegacyJ Transaction Platform is not Customer Information Control System (CICS).  However, the platform does replicate the same functions and uses the same keywords and syntax.

In PERCobol programs, EXEC CICS is synonym of EXEC TRANSACTION to permit existing EXEC CICS statements to function unmodified.  The LegacyJ Transaction Platform is the appropriate method for describing the functionality being delivered rather than CICS.
