Customer Reviews

A very complete CICS reference

This is an EXCELLENT CICS reference. It's really the only book you'll need if you have CICS projects at work. It has handy programming examples, a complete INDEX (novel concept, eh?), and detailed explanations.One word review: Excellent.

this book is my cics bible/has save me time more than once

this book is a real gem, it is a must for any cics programmer. mine has a ton of tabs so i can find the commands that i use most often

The best CICS Manual by miles

Doug Lowe is a great writer/teacher. The book is well indexed and anyone could understand his writing. He tells you what you need and also show you examples. Trash the IBM manuals, it's all here. There are more copies of Doug's book in our office than any other writer.

This Book Has Everything I Need to Know About CICS

Once you begin to modify CICS programs, you soon find out all about the little idiosyncrasies and problems inherent in anything as complex as online programming. The CICS Desk Reference contains practically all Command-Level CICS commands and error explanations, and shows many examples on using the commands. Although it deals with COBOL programming, Assembly programmers can find many answers here, too.
