Default
CICS=NO
YES
If a COBOL source program contains CICS statements and has not been preprocessed by the CICS translator, the YES option must be specified.
NO
When the NO option is specified, any CICS statements that are found in the source program are diagnosed and discarded.
Note:
  • The CICS compiler option can contain CICS suboptions. The CICS suboptions delimiters can be quotation marks or apostrophes. CICS suboptions cannot be specified as a COBOL installation default.
  • You can specify the CICS compiler option in any of the compiler option sources: installation defaults, compiler invocation, or PROCESS or CBL statements.
