Application programming for CICS-maintained data tables

All CICS® file control commands can be used in applications that access a CICS-maintained data table. This means that the benefits of data tables can be obtained immediately without any changes to existing applications.

CICS uses the data table to perform most read requests. Other requests might need to access the source data set. See Application programming for data tables for more information.
