Read Command -> Records are read into the existing Working Storage.

Set Command -> To access the data directly in Linkage Section with the help of pointer reference. The SET option has a parameter: ADDRESS OF 01-LEVEL OF Record layout in Linkage Section. With this address CICS acquires the storage.
