My reply to the above questionneries was as below -

1) A region in CICS is an area where one can initiate a transaction.

2) I don't know the second query

3) Using REPRO

4) Control will go to CICS region

5) Using PARMS

6) Record cannot be deleted in ESDS

2. Use the COBOL DELETE verb.
4. Assuming an EXEC CICS LINK was used, control would return to program A, not CICS. This is explicitly shown in section 1.3.4.1 of the CICS Application Programming Guide manual.
5.. The term is PARM, not PARMS -- PARMS will give you a JCL error.
7. From the JCL Language Reference manual, there is no JCL error:
23.0 Chapter 23. PEND Statement

Purpose

Use the PEND statement to mark the end of an in-stream procedure. You may end a cataloged procedure with a PEND statement, but it is not required.
