Using the CBLPSHPOP runtime option under CICS

This topic applies to Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, COBOL for OS/390 & VM, COBOL for MVS & VM, COBOL/370, and VS COBOL II programs only.

The CBLPSHPOP runtime option controls whether the Language Environment environment automatically issues an EXEC CICS® PUSH HANDLE command during initialization and an EXEC CICS POP HANDLE command during termination whenever a COBOL subroutine is called.

If your application calls COBOL subroutines under CICS, your application performance is better with CBLPSHPOP(OFF) than with CBLPSHPOP(ON). You can set CBLPSHPOP on a transaction-by-transaction basis by using CEEUOPT.

For more information about CBLPSHPOP, see z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference.
