INTERVIEW QUESTIONS MAINFRAME CICS DETAILS

Question: How do you access storage outside your CICS program?

Answer: In COBOL storage was accessed via BLL cells using the SET option of ADDRESS commands. In COBOL II the special register, ADDRESS OF lets you reference the address of any Linkage Section field.
Q.How does COBOL II and CICS release 1.7 provide for exceptional conditions and how does that differ from VS COBOL and earlier CICS releases?
VS COBOL used the HANDLE CONDITION command to name routines to pass program control when exceptional conditions were encountered. COBOL II and CICS release 1.7 introduced the RESP option on many CICS commands.
