Why doesn?t CICS use the Cobol Open and Close statements ?

Answer Posted / bobby

CICS files should not be defined in CICS programs using SELECT and FD clauses. Also, OPEN and CLOSE statements need not be given inside the program.

Files can be opened and closed using the CICS command
CEMT I FILE and then issuing an 'o'pen or a 'c'lose.

Files can be defined in CICS by CEDA command.
