CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Coding FBEs for field level reengineering

This section looks at a number of simple scenarios where the solution is an FBE. They all operate at a single field level and do not include SQL. They are written in COBOL.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible situations where an FBE is required, but an illustration of actual customer situations and the type of FBE that was used. Some other potential scenarios requiring exits are discussed in Other potential uses for FBEs.

There are additional sample exits in the appendices.
