You can use the command-level interpreter (CECI) transaction to check the syntax of CICS® commands and process these commands interactively on a 3270 screen. CECI allows you to follow through most of the commands to execution and display the results. It also provides you with a reference to the syntax of the whole of the CICS command-level application programming and system programming interface.
CECI interacts with your test system to allow you to create or delete test data, temporary storage queues, or to deliberately introduce wrong data to test out error logic. You can also use CECI to repair corrupted database records on your production system.
The interpreter is such a powerful tool that your installation may restrict its use with attach-time security. (The external security manager used by your installation defines the security attributes for the CECI and CECS transactions.) If this has been done, and you are not authorized to use the interpreter transaction you select, you will not be able to initiate the transaction.
