Programming interface information

This book is intended to help you to customize your CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1 system. This book primarily documents Product-sensitive Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information provided by CICS.

Product-sensitive programming interfaces allow the customer installation to perform tasks such as diagnosing, modifying, monitoring, repairing, tailoring, or tuning of CICS. Use of such interfaces creates dependencies on the detailed design or implementation of the IBM® software product. Product-sensitive programming interfaces should be used only for these specialized purposes. Because of their dependencies on detailed design and implementation, it is to be expected that programs written to such interfaces may need to be changed in order to run with new product releases or versions, or as a result of service.

However, this book also documents General-use Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information.

General-use programming interfaces allow the customer to write programs that request or receive the services of CICS.

General-use Programming Interface and Associated Guidance Information is identified where it occurs, either by an introductory statement to a chapter or section or by the following marking:
