Buffer objects

The Foundation Classes make extensive use of IccBuf objects – buffer objects that simplify the task of handling pieces of data or records.

Understanding the use of these objects is a necessary precondition for much of the rest of this book.

Each of the CICS® Resource classes that involve passing data to CICS (for example by writing data records) and getting data from CICS (for example by reading data records) make use of the IccBuf class. Examples of such classes are IccConsole, IccDataQueue, IccFile, IccFileIterator, IccJournal, IccProgram, IccSession, IccStartRequestQ, IccTempStore, and IccTerminal.
