5.0 out of 5 stars A very complete CICS reference, November 20, 1999
By A Customer
This is an EXCELLENT CICS reference. It's really the only book you'll need if you have CICS projects at work. It has handy programming examples, a complete INDEX (novel concept, eh?), and detailed explanations.

One word review: Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best CICS Manual by miles, January 30, 1999
By A Customer
Doug Lowe is a great writer/teacher. The book is well indexed and anyone could understand his writing. He tells you what you need and also show you examples. Trash the IBM manuals, it's all here. There are more copies of Doug's book in our office than any other writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Has Everything I Need to Know About CICS, April 4, 1998
Once you begin to modify CICS programs, you soon find out all about the little idiosyncrasies and problems inherent in anything as complex as online programming. The CICS Desk Reference contains practically all Command-Level CICS commands and error explanations, and shows many examples on using the commands. Although it deals with COBOL programming, Assembly programmers can find many answers here, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars I reach for this book first, when I can find it.
Some one always has it. Thats why I am going to buy one of my own. (Me and 4 other guys!) The best feature is it's alphabetized. And nothing is better than a good example. Read more
