Integrated CICS translator

An integrated translator eliminates the separate translation step for COBOL programs that contain CICS statements.

With the integrated translator, the COBOL compiler handles both native COBOL and embedded CICS statements in the source program. When CICS statements are encountered, the compiler interfaces with the integrated CICS translator. The integrated CICS translator takes appropriate actions and then returns to the compiler indicating what native language statements to generate.

Although the separate CICS translator is still supported in Enterprise COBOL, use of the integrated CICS translator is recommended. The integrated CICS translator improves usability and offers the highest level of functionality. The benefits of using the integrated CICS translator include:
