● <strong>CICS</strong> data management is comprehensive and includes support<br />
for major database management systems such as DB2 - this also<br />
includes a high performance <strong>CICS</strong> DB2-Attach facility. Data can<br />
be in databases, OS datasets, datatables, or even within <strong>CICS</strong><br />
itself. Other database support includes Oracle, IMS, etc.<br />
● <strong>CICS</strong> and VSAM continue to be enhanced, such as with the<br />
VSAM RLS function <strong>of</strong> DFSMS, and DFSMStvs (Transactional<br />
VSAM Services), for <strong>CICS</strong> and batch. Note that a coupling<br />
facility is required for these optional VSAM components.<br />
