CICS/Menu II presents a consistent point of entry and prevents
users from seeing a blank screen. Menus may be nested and an optional user exit allows pre-display customizing. INPUTMSG data can be passed to applications. Pre-check transaction security using an interface to MacKinney Systems' CICS/SignOn or customer's own user exit. Administration, simplified with group profiles, can be offloaded to group administrators.
Message
Messages can be sent from an application program or a terminal. After reading the message, CLEAR refreshes the full screen and COMMAREA. Messages can be sent to 'ALL' CICS terminals or lists of terminals/ operators/users/netnames. Lists may be shared between CICS/Message and CICS/ Morning News. Messages may be added to CICS/Morning News so users who are not logged on will see the message later. "Reply" option allows (or requires) message recipient to easily send a reply to a message.
Morning News
Displays one or more screens of news to each user when they log on or sign on to CICS. Each news item may be limited to certain users or lists of users by terminal-id, operator-id, user-id, or netname. News may be entered to display on a future date as a reminder. User lists may be shared between CICS/ Morning News and CICS/Message.
On Line File Utility
Allows programmers to instantly view any record of any file defined to CICS. The record is displayed in character and hexadecimal and may be updated or deleted. New records may be added and files may be browsed forward or backward. A file can be scanned for a character string.
