CICS® provides the application programmer with two commonly used functions: field edit and phonetic conversion.
These are functions that generally used to be coded as separate subroutines by the programmer. They are referred to as built-in functions.
The field edit function is provided by the BIF DEEDIT command of the CICS application programming interface.
The phonetic conversion function is provided as a subroutine that can be called by CICS application programs, and also by any offline programs.
