Changes to the CICS-supplied transactions

Some CICS-supplied transactions are new, or have changed to support new functions.

The CICS® transactions accept as few characters of a keyword as needed to identify the keyword uniquely in the request. Minimum abbreviations might change between CICS releases because of the introduction of new commands. If you use automated processes or programs to issue commands for CICS transactions, and you use abbreviations for the keywords, check for any changes to these abbreviations in the new release. In the syntax displays on your screen, the minimum permitted abbreviation is shown in uppercase characters, and the remainder is shown in lowercase.
