The IBM Customer Information Control System (CISC) is
a transaction-oriented, multiapplication data base/data
communication interface between a System/360 or System/370
operating system and user-written application programs.
Applicable to most online systems, CICS provides many
of the facilities necessary for standard terminal appli-
cations: message switching, inquiry, data collection, order
entry, and conversational data entry.
CICS is available in three systems - two for DOS users
and one for OS users. Because the two CICS/DOS systems
are compatible with each other and with the CICS/OS
system, it is possible to start with a small data base/data
communication configuration and move up through DOS
into OS.
This manual provides information of interest to persons
involved with terminal operation. These persons include:
terminal operators, terminal supervisors, master terminal
operators, application programmers, system programmers,
and system administrators.
