1.0 out of 5 stars The book is useless unless your doing a tech interview, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

The book has no in depth information on CICS, no mention of background processes. The index pages don't match the contents of the book (try julian date for example). The map examples are most simplistic, never found in real life. Nobody codes like these examples. In short, hated it!

1.0 out of 5 stars CICS is great. But nNot with this introductory book., June 27, 2002

By	Paul Schwartzberg (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The content does not go to the point. The examples simplicity make them irrelevant. On the whole a text which avoids a concise, clear, and intelligent style.
