IBM 3270 full screen interactive programming without CICS
Hilton Chen, Wayne Summers · 1988
During the past several decades, full screen interactive programming has become essential in data processing. However, it is impossible or difficult to teach full screen interactive programs on IBM mainframes at universities because of the enormous cost of CICS and the lack of flexibility with the MUSIC PANEL utility. This article describes our solution to the need described in [4] for an inexpensive utility which will allow COBOL programmers to do interactive programming on mainframes utilizing full screen techniques.
