- You would probably be better off designing your program to have separate
- modules to actually perform the I/O - then for the CICS version, you could
- have adapter code coded in the native 'EXEC CICS READ FILE(XXX) END EXEC'
- format. Do be aware that the primary support for native CICS files is VSAM, and
- the majority of these in use in the world are keyed access, with semantics a whole
- lot different than the standard C fread, fwrite, etc.

- Just my $0.02 worth.
