The CICS® temporary storage control facility provides the application programmer with the ability to store data in temporary storage queues, either in main storage, in auxiliary storage on a direct-access storage device, or in a temporary storage data sharing pool. Data stored in a temporary storage queue is known as temporary data.
The application programming interface described in this chapter is the EXEC CICS API, which is not used in Java™ programs. For information about Java programs using the JCICS classes to access temporary storage services, see Java Applications in CICS in the CICS Information Center and the JCICS Javadoc html documentation. For information about C++ programs using the CICS C++ classes, see the CICS C++ OO Class Libraries manual.
You can:
The TS keyword may be omitted; temporary storage is assumed if it is not specified.
Exception conditions that occur during execution of a temporary storage control command are handled as described in Dealing with exception conditions.
If you use these commands, you could create inter-transaction affinities that adversely affect your ability to perform dynamic transaction routing.
To help you identify potential problems with programs that issue these
commands, you can use the scanner and collector components of the CICS Interdependency Analyzer
. See the CICS Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS User's Guide and Reference for more
information about this utility and Affinity for more information
about transaction affinity.
