Hi All,

I have a DB2-CICS cobol program which has a below code while calling a subprogram

 MOVE 'S60PBSC'          TO WS-PROGRAM-NAME       
 CALL WS-PROGRAM-NAME USING                       
                        EXEC TP                   
                            DFHEIBLK             
                            DFHCOMMAREA           
                        END-EXEC                 
                                  PBS1REC         
 END-CALL                                       


Can someone tell me what is "EXEC TP " does here and why "EXEC CICS" is not used ? I have middleware in my system . Is this linked to it ?
