Murach's CICS for the COBOL programmer

By Menendez and Lowe

Murach's CICS for the COBOL programmer: I've never been disappointed by any of Murach's books. They are all well written. These authors make a very technical subject seem like a piece of cake. You'll see the words "how to..." all over the place. What I like best are the abundant examples of actual code - you won't be left in the dark with this CICS book! The COBOL programmer wishing to learn CICS will find this book ideal.
