CICS Cmd          (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
"CICS Cmd" shows the current CICS command being executed by an application
program executing on behalf of a specific transaction.  


VALUES
"CICS Cmd" displays the actual name of a CICS command.


INTERPRETATION
Use the "CICS Cmd" in conjunction with the "Dataset" and "Block" fields to get
a fix on exactly what an application program is executing. Together, these 
fields tell you what "CICS Cmd" is working on a particular "Block" in a 
specific "Dataset".


CONCLUSIONS
"CICS Cmd" can help you determine exactly what an application program is doing.
For example, if a transaction executes too slowly and the "CICS Cmd" is 
constantly a WRITE command, it is possible that the transaction is waiting for 
database resources to be released by other transactions, causing the transaction
to run slowly.
