Notes on terminology

CICS® is used throughout this book to mean the CICS element of the IBM® CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1.

CICSPlex® SM refers to CICSPlex System Manager, an element of CICS Transaction server.

CICS TS Version 2 region is used to refer to a CICS region running under CICS TS Version 2, in contrast, for example, to a CICS/ESA 4.1 region.

MVS™ is used throughout this book to mean the operating system MVS, or the Base Control Program (BCP) element of z/OS.

RACF® is used throughout this book to mean the MVS Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) or any other external security manager that provides equivalent function.

The term CICS TS 3.1 region is used to refer to a CICS region running under CICS TS Version 3 Release 1, in contrast, for example, to a CICS/ESA 4.1 region.

$ In the programming examples in this book, the dollar symbol ($,) is used as a national currency symbol and is assumed to be assigned the EBCDIC code point X'5B'. In some countries a different currency symbol, for example the pound symbol (£), or the yen symbol (¥), is assigned the same EBCDIC code point. In these countries, the appropriate currency symbol should be used instead of the dollar symbol.

hlq Throughout this book, the term hlq is used to denote the high-level qualifier of the CICS TS data sets; for example, CICSTS31.CICS for CICS data sets and CICSTS31.CPSM for CICSPlex SM data sets. The CICSTS31 part of the high-level qualifier is defined by the LINDEX parameter in the DFHISTAR installation job.
