i am few answers to Raju's answers....
1. The CICS commands should be coded in keyword-delimiter
i.e EXEC CICS ......END-EXEC. and the cobol not neccesary
to use keyword.
2. The Environment division is optional in CICS , while it
is mandatory in COBOl for decalring files
3. In CICS , we can test whether it is executed the program
first time or not. But in cobo, we cannot test it.
and they are many more.................
