Hello and welcome to the forum,

When you have a question, you should start a new topic for your question rather than posting a reply to some unrelated topic.

We are not able to "teach" languages and other disciplines. We will try to answer specific/particular questions (not nebulous questions). Your question is similar to asking "How high is up?".

Suggest you download the CICS documentation from IBM and either attend some training or buy one or more books. The books at Murach Publishing are excellent:

when I see questions posed in this way I start wondering how neurons spin in people' s head
how they categorize properties things and concepts
how they decide what <property attributes> apply to what

am new to CICS,
OK
please let me know the CICS in detail
OK logic but unreasonable
with syntax
what the heck does it mean?

<having a syntax> might apply to a jcl statement
but how in heaven can be applied to CICS :?

thinking seriously about how people ask question quite often
opens a completely new world in the realm of understanding aka can of worms :D

meditate and have a good weekend y' all

C CICS AIRPLANE ALL

the result is the same - nonsense due to not knowing what a thing is.

People take classes for weeks -- or months -- to learn how to use CICS. And you, not knowing anything about CICS, expect to learn it by asking questions on a forum? Either you are extremely good at learning things on your own, or you are delusional about how well you can learn CICS without taking a formal class. You should pay for the class and learn it from a teacher, so you will at least have the basics down (assuming the teacher is competent, of course).

Hello,

And (IMHO) the best thing about taking a class is there is an instructor who can answer questions - manuals and books cannot.

Taking a class also provides contacts with whom you may exchange info long after the class is done. These same contacts may be helpful finding work some day as well.

Personally, i'm handy with documention and searching forums and the web, but i prefer a class for something completely new to get the jumpstart and meet some people. I also invest in books that are not manuals.

New Question = new topic :twisted:

Have you read the User Guide manual or a tutorial? What do you not understand?
To me "conversation techniques" means "the ways of carrying out a conversation" and samples of these can be found in many places apart from the manual. Try Google.
