In application development, there are two areas where
CICS®
VT can provide
significant advantages:
- Your existing legacy applications can be maintained as SQL
applications.
You can add SQL statements to these programs and let
CICS
VT continue to handle your VSAM calls.
This can extend the life cycle of your legacy applications, by making
it easier to maintain and enhance them.
- You can write new application programs to access the new
DB2®
tables, and leave DB2
to manage concurrent access and data integrity.
CICS
VT does not restrict your ability
to do this.
